#廃墟
Closed in the 1970s, the old Mooroopna Hospital stood empty for decades and sadly became a target for vandalism, including a major fire in 2011.

These images capture a few fragments of its past, including the original mortuary cabinets, a hallway leading to the facility’s inner courtyard, and what remained of the upper level after the fire. Now, after years of neglect, it’s great to see plans to preserve its historic exterior and give it new life as a future school. 🏢🍂

April 26 2026 marks 40 years since the Chernobyl disaster.

Images from Pripyat no longer read as records of the past, but as warnings of what could happen again.

What once felt contained now feels more likely, amid the Russia–Ukraine war, conflict near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and broader regional instability.

These images were taken in 2010 and 2012, but feel less distant today.

Hashima Island (Gunkanjima) - Building No. I8 (the Nikkyu Flats). A former residential complex for the many miners who once resided there. The reinforced concrete structure was completed after World War 1 and included 241 rooms and 9 stories.
