1. Malta
Malta, an idyllic Mediterranean Sea destination, makes an excellent travel choice with minimal traveling and stunning beaches and sites of historical interest to discover. Reach Malta within two hours by plane for an incredible holiday destination that is beloved throughout the year and worth seeing at any time.
2. The Castle Of Bodiam
Bodiam Castle was constructed by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge of East Sussex in 1385 and remains in remarkable condition today. Scientists have concluded that its walls were too narrow to use during battle and its moat was inadequate as a defense system; perhaps suggesting its purpose as a symbol rather than defense. Yet its water slides remain amazing, showing its beauty despite many wars taking place nearby – thanks to Lord Curzon who renovated this extraordinary structure!
3. The Last House On The Dutch Island
Dutch Island, situated in Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, once provided homes to fishermen and farmers but now lies dormant as its landmass steadily recedes into Chesapeake Bay. A dwelling was constructed there in 1888; however, as its shorelines quickly receded it soon proved incompatible with it and owner Stephen White spent considerable effort trying to preserve his property; unfortunately however, nature ultimately prevailed, taking away both house and island altogether.
4. Michigan Railway Station, Detroit
Detroit is an icon of industrial decline, and the Michigan Train Station stands as a reminder. Built over 100 years ago and once considered lavish railway station of its time, today there haven’t been any trains at this station for over twenty years – some believe its demolition due to deteriorating state should take place; others still view its beauty in its disarray, with photographers flocking here for photography sessions of this grand structure in its present condition.
5. Hydra, Greece
For those in search of more picturesque scenery and less metropolises, Hydra can provide the ideal option in Greece’s Saronic Islands. Covering only 64 km2, Hydra has long been a favorite vacation spot within close distance to Athens; for over 100 years. Hydra’s beautiful setting boasts two monasteries, nunnerys, fortifications and historical museums but its scenic charms have attracted film crews; one such film featuring Sophia Loren was shot here back in 1950s!
6. The Wonderland Amusement Park
China attempted to build its own version of Walt Disneyworld 32 kilometers outside Beijing called Wonderland Theme Park as an answer. They broadcasted construction as it occurred live. Unfortunately, due to fiscal difficulties the attempt halted in 1998 but another shot at building was attempted again in 2008 but that failed too. Finally in May the incomplete and remaining parts of Wonderland Theme Park were disassembled, yet many sightseers had already visited with one individual leading them through parking lot entrance.
7. Angkorvat, Cambodia
Angkor Wat is a magnificent temple complex constructed by over 5000 sculptors and stone carvers who took 30 years to construct it. The monument holds great spiritual importance for both Hinduism and Buddhism religions as well as being featured prominently on Cambodia’s national flag and crest; millions of visitors flock here annually as tourists show their respect.
8. The Tunnel Of Love, Ukraine
LanaSator was inspired by a dream and decided to visit one of the plants belonging to NPO Energomash organization located in a residential area of Moscow. Although this act caused displeasure with Russian authorities and she was warned for it, her photos took nevertheless proved remarkable; one could almost compare it with exploring a sci-fi film setting as there were no staff or security present apart from some surveillance cameras; no inquiries were even raised regarding such an important rocket launching firm on earth!
9. The Abandoned Dome Houses In Caperomano
John Tosto purchased two dome houses in 2005 but has made no changes since. Their renewal has caused great debate, with reports that Tosto could face fines up to $185,000. I think Tosto should leave these structures as is; their appearance is unique and any renovation attempts would amount to little more than demolishing them altogether as there’s very little that can be done to them once renovated – though keeping their outer appearance would certainly help preserve it more easily and safely than refurbishing an older structure.
10. The Fort of Maunsell Sea
Scattered across Maunsell Sea is a cluster of rusty fortresses that look like Imperial walkers ready to fire lasers onto the coastline. Constructed during WWII in 1942 and linked by a thin metal bridge, three Maunsell Fortresses were originally planned; only two remain. Each structure comprises seven buildings surrounding a central tower. However, one was destroyed during a storm and later taken away as scrap. Between 1960 and 1970 they served as pirate radio stations.
11. Tenerife, Spain
Tenerife, Spain Tenerife is one of the Canary Islands located in the Atlantic and serves as its largest island. Tenerife provides an idyllic destination to escape daily life’s hustle and bustle; its stunning beaches and exquisite seashores are breathtaking, providing rest and rejuvenation while offering opportunities for sightseeing, hiking and diving activities as well.
12. Kolmanskop, The Ghost City In Namibia
In 1908, a black worker discovered a diamond near Dresden and Germany soon thereafter constructed an entire city dedicated solely to diamond mining. Miners received generous salaries while amenities like medical facilities, theater performances, streetcars and casinos were added as well. By 1954 though, all diamond resources had been completely exhausted causing mining operations to cease, leaving behind an abandoned city which became visited only by photographers taking pictures – many who documented its re-birth through photography.
13. Cephalonia, Greece
Cephalonia Island in Greece provides visitors with an unforgettable culinary experience. While relatively remote, this Ionian Sea island offers beautiful natural attractions such as Melissani Cave and St Andreas Monastery as well as breathtaking beaches to relax on and local wines such as Robola to sample. Furthermore, visitors can explore nearby Ithaca.
14. The Empty Russian Missile Factory
Lana Sator, a young female, decided to secretly gain entrance to one of NPO Energomash’s factories outside Moscow with her camera in hand. Although Russian specialists were unimpressed with her action, her photos were stunning; almost like entering into a sci-fi movie! Nobody stopped or hindered her during her visit despite this organization being one of the largest rocket launching firms on earth!
15. The Kerry Way Trail Between Sneem And Kenmare
Dutch Island, situated in Chesapeake Bay in Maryland is in rapid deterioration. Once popular among anglers and agriculturists alike, now only anglers remain. Built in 1888 as part of an effort by former owner Stephen White to counter the power of nature against shrinkage of shorelines, its house still struggles against shrinkage today despite his efforts. Unfortunately the house and island cannot be preserved against their perils any longer.
16. Corse, France And Elba, Italy
