Re: OT: Urban decay...

Thought I could post this as well:

Photos of old battleships and other such vessels being scrapped... The first ship seen is HMS Warspite, "The Old Lady", the battleship that saw action in the both world wars.

"Run up on the beaches of India at high tide, old vessels are cut up in horrific working conditions." Handy and cheap for the western world to ship the shit to the "third world".

An interesting historical photo showing Gangut, a Russian/Soviet battleship, in an urban/harbour environment, somewhere:

like at least 80 years ago, I guess.

Will try to post something softer next time, whenever that is... Perhaps a link to some resource about old wooden buildings. And they don't even need to be abandoned or massive in size.
