I've written before about modern ruins. Here's a great Finnish site: Tuomas Romu's photographs. Beautiful work!
Thanks to Mustafa Mond for the link.

When it comes to modern ruins, I guess that the best place to observe them is Chernobyl and Pripyat in Ukraine. These cities and land around them are abandoned for more than 20 years.

That's his real name? He's been affected by it then... ("Romu" = "junk" :-)

Victor, please dress up in a heavy lead anti-radiation suit and take some pix for us in Chernobyl!
Kai, did you notice that the Romu guy is just 20? Gifted kid!
