Neat looking place, got any more pics?
The OP pic is of a building in a ghost town in rural Nevada (can't remember which one though).
This is from Candelaria, NV. Modern open pit mine in background (also now abandoned).
Gotta stay classical.

Nice, got any pics of the base of the structure? Looks like it was built in the early twentieth century.
Yuanming Yuan ruins in Beijing. The westernized part of the imperial gardens which were razed by the French military in the 19th Century. There were older traditional parts of the gardens that were also destroyed, but these are the ruins that you can go and see. A lot of it has been restored or converted into gardens. Part of the gardens were later incorporated into Tsinghua university's campus by the commies, so much of the university's campus is traditional gardens. Other sections of the gardens were made into a park, which features a big monument to Victor Hugo.
I went there about 2 years ago, it wasn't gloomy or powerful like a lot of other ruins are, but the ruins were fun to play around on (respectfully).
>>1091741
I don't think anyone on this board seriously believes that those hills are man made.
It's just bants my family.
>>1091776
file was too big
>>1091790
I think it was indeed built in the early 20th, as to the base that's kind of difficult since it's mostly built into the mountain and parts have been destroyed, a lot of it is just tunnels and the like. All that's visible above ground are those batteries, built into a right-angled dent cut into the summit, and some ruined barracks below
Old 100+ year old marble quarry near Death Valley.
>>1091812
I've tried, I think those are actually chips and dents
A different ruined fort, this time at Moncervino
>>1091813
I do, I even posted what they digged, don't make me post it again, but I don't think it's an actual pyramid like the egyptians.
And it that's supossed to be a face?
>>1091823
Old fountain at the marble company's townsite. The road leading into the mountains was an incline railway that was used to deliver the cut marble about 3 miles to the standard gauge railroad for shipment.
>>1091859
Most of the townsite buildings were made of wood so not much left except for the concrete foundations and this chimney. Used to have 1000+ people living there at its peak shortly before WWI.
>>1091836
another abandoned seasonal hut

Very cool, got any more of this place?
Here are some remaining A-frames from a monorail that was built in the 1920s and used to transport epsom salts near Death Valley.

There's a ruined medieval bridge right outside of my village, but for some reason it's nicknamed "Roman bridge"
Not a full-blown ghost town, but lots of abandoned buildings in Goodsprings, Nevada.

There should be some lockpicking magazines and a stealthboy in a safe inside the schoolhouse. Watch out for giant mantis nymphs though.

This still pisses me off
Umayyad city in Anjar, Lebanon
Anderson prison. Been there,you get some weird feelings there. Thousands of Union prisoners died in this little piece of land. A tiny stream ran thru the prison grounds. That was all they had for water. Polluted as hell. All types of diseases. Plus the rebels tortured the union prisoners,they would put food over the death line in front of thousands of starving men. Doesn't take a idiot to know what happended next. Interesting read.

Spent a night at a friend's house there

Andersonville prison, sorry guys

I get that feel, unfortunately.

Any good reconstructions of Rome's centre? I visited those ruins two years ago, and it was hard to picture how it looked during it's heyday. Especially the ruins up on the steep hillside.
An early XIII. century temple ruin near where I live. It was ruined by an earthquake in the 1700s.

the remains of a Mississippi noble's plantation manor
Rosewell plantation, largest home built in the colonial US. Flemish bond brickwork, high ceilings, thick walls, four stories. The parlor was large enough to use as a ballroom, and Virginia's gentlemen and thinkers frequently met here for parties and meetings.

As the best preserved of ten similar fortresses in the Lobi area, part of a larger group of around a hundred stone-built enclosures, they are part of a network of settlements that flourished at the same time as the trans-Saharan gold trade and appear to reflect the power and influence of that trade and its links with the Atlantic coast. Recent excavations have provided radio-carbon dates suggesting the walled enclosure at Loropéni dates back at least to the 11th century AD and flourished between the 14th and 17th centuries.

Ouara (or Wara) is the former capital of the Ouaddai Empire lying near Abéché in eastern Chad. It has been deserted since its wells went dry in the 19th century. Situated between hills, it is still home to a ruined palace, mosque and city wall.

Hey guys, Tasmanian here. I really wanted to show you all photos of the ruins on Maria Island but I just can't find the photos on my old hard drives. Some people tried to settle the Islands a few hundred years ago and I took pictures of the ruins. If you google for "maria island ruins" or farm, etc you'll find some. It's pretty amazing.
>>1103204
Neat. I've been to similar places in the American West (without the stigma of slave labor).

Horseshoe Canyon in Canyonlands, Utah was home to the Anazazi people. These petroglyphs, which can be as big as 5 feet tall, date from 9000 BC. It was also used by Butch Cassidy as a hide-out of the feds; he who let them chase him down there, hide in one of the many side-canyons, then box them in and murder them all.
If any of you happen to go there, theres an ammo box with a Log near the biggest gallery of petroglyphs. I wrote a poem in there.

Nice one, isn't this in South Carolina? I was super close to it, but didn't know it was there. If you live close check out Oyotunji.
I like to explore Indian ruins and holy sites in the southeast, probably the coolest are Fort Mountain State Park and Rock Eagle because they don't go by the same standards of building that known tribes used.
