I just had a five-day weekend, where I spent all days except one exploring. These pictures are all from May 1 when I rode my scooter through central Seoul and looked for abandoned buildings.
1. There wasn't much left of this area by the time I found it.
2. Here's a hilltop view of this small abandoned neighbourhood.
3. You can see several different architectural styles of Seoul. Soon it will all be like those white skyscrapers in the distance.
4. I got inside this church but there really wasn't much left.
5. An interesting wooden building.
6. On the far side of the condemned area I found traces of a large fire. One building was even cordoned off with police tape.
7. Here's a traditional Korean house in the middle of a field of destruction. This is another location about a kilometer down the road.
8. I found another new location not far from that one. This one is a large neighbourhood on the side of a hill.
9. Korean traditional houses.
10. A closer look at a rooftop.
11. An abandoned bidet.
12. On the front gate of another abandoned place.
13. A lonely cat.
14. Graffiti on the outside of an abandoned youth hostel/sauna. I think this was made by the hired goons who evict tenants.
15. These washrooms were for a local restaurant that closed.
16. In the foreground is the remains of a doomed neighbourhood. Actually, this is the first urban exploration site I ever visited, although most of it is gone now.
17. Another view of the same area. Where the big white building with black writing stands, there was once a very cool brick neighbourhood. The black writing, by the way, says "Brownstone."
18. I enjoy the tilt-shift effect to make cityscapes look like miniatures. This was done in Photoshop.
Sorry, I just saw the Overseas Sites forum. Could someone with the power move this over there?
