battleship island

(via seattle's slog)

nope, not a city post-earthquake or other natural disaster - it's a photo of a street on gunkanjima, a deserted island off the coast of japan. and probably the most impressive thing i've seen on the internets this week. (even if it did already make the rounds almost two years ago...er....make that three!)
