where are all of these seeds coming from? How about pollenators?

As I said above, with chernobyl, they came from the region oirside of the area. Imagine everyhere being chernobyl, the vast majority of plant life on the planet has been burned, the majority of pollenators killed off, and the sun is blocked out from nuclear winter.

Bit of a different situation. No?

Abandoned things were abandoned.

Some of those almost look like screenshots from game, damn.

http://www.derelictlondon.com/ also has a lot of nice Fallouty photographs. I can especially recommend the toilet section.

I disagree. This does not belong in the Community Discussion forum. It is Fallout-related and it should never have been moved out of the Fallout forum. I am going to request that it be moved back to the forum where it belongs.

These are some amazing shots. Unpleasant locations like that have a lot of potential for a good picture. I envy photographers who have access to them. Nothing like that where I am.

I am pretty surprised by this and it makes me wonder if you actually looked at the photos (I am assuming you have played Fallout 4 here). There was one thing really stood out for me in the game and that is given the limitations placed on them by the different platforms and the age of the game engine is the remarkable work the modellers did with the environment. There is a lot of clever work there and a lot of attention to details that a casual gamer might miss. Now, when you do look at the photos have a careful look at the textures and the range of colors on the machinery, pipes and the staining patterns on the concrete and compare them with what is in game and you might see why it was a very appropriate post in the Fallout 4 general discussion. The modellers even got the type and pattern of debris right.

I think Detroit is where a co-worker went for a conference and came back describing it as "officially the worst place on Earth".

I work in a still operating factory that's like 70 years old. He needs to be extremely careful in those places. I had to take courses on asbestos and lead safety. You should warn him to not to touch ANYTHING as asbestos that old easily becomes air born. Even breaking a tile on the floor can do it as many tiles contained it.

That's the thing at the back of my mind whenever I see those urbex photos: seems that stuff is absolutely everywhere.

Yuck, the upholstery on that sofa on page 2 is just awful.

I have floor tiles with asbestos in them in my kitchen, toilet and bathroom which are over 60 years old...gulp. Not too concerned though, they're very solid and they've survived god knows how many accidents over the years. Even having small amounts of asbestos removed from a cupboard when a water tank had to be changed was such a pain that I can't even bear to think about having all those tiles removed.

So long as they dont break your good and many cleanup companies will deferr to leave them alone so long as they are intact. Of course if your willing to pay them to do the job anyways that's a different story.


Also NEVER attempt to clean it up or disturb it if it does break. The more its disturbed the more asbestos fibers that can escape the material and go airborne.
