Oh, wow -- more urban ruins. I've got this sudden urge to scrape up some money for a plane ticket to Russia.

The future emerges like a particularly unmanageable fungus; places like the ones chronicled above are nothing less than upwellings in the temporal fabric. The future is here; you just have to know where to go and how to look.

From the link
They are eternity.

No they're not. In they are monuments to a failed poltical system whose successor state can't muster the will to create a decent salvage industry. Leave a building or two up as a historical park, tear the rest down and create some wealth with that garbage.

It's only the future if things go to hell in a handbasket.

Mac, I followed a link back a couple of layers and discovered some very evocative sepia images titles "Dead Mars."

Those sepia pictures are great! Very "Martian."
