The web is an amazing journey sometimes. While researching a restaurant I ran across this hometown mecca of resources which also listed blogs so I randomly clicked on one which propelled me to a whole new world.

the mecca: Cursor.com - Twin City Media Portal
the blog: City of Squirrels - I couldn’t resist
the new world: Gukanjima - Battleship Island - an abandoned 1 mile long coal mining island which once boasted a population of over 5000 people. Closed in 1974 Now forbidden to land. Very eiry photographs and to think places like this exist and did exist. If you visit wander around the site to see the 1974 pictures as well - a kind of before & after experience.
