I immediately think of the tv show Angel when I see this shot.

Prora is a beach resort on the island of Rügen, Germany, known especially for its colossal Nazi-planned touristic structures. The massive building complex was built between 1936 and 1939 as a Kraft durch Freude (KdF) project. The eight buildings are identical, and while they were planned as a holiday locale, they were never used for this purpose. The complex has a formal heritage listing as a particularly striking example of Third Reich architecture.

Ooh,maybe it leads to Narnia!

looks like the one's we had in hospital as a kid

now that is rare in the uk,to see MADE IN ENGLAND stamped on our goods!!

very 60's britain!

it's the exit sign. for some reason in wales they have their signs in cymru (with an english translation) even though most welsh people have no idea how to speak it!

something very Buffy about this pic. i can just picture Caleb saying this!

I cannot believe how such a beautiful place could ever be allowed to be demolished. the buildings of today hold no such beauty.

is it me,or does that resemble johnny depp??

I like this,even though it is a fail! something eerie yet good about it. perhaps the way the paint drips down like blood.

We have a place over here in the UK called Blackgang Chine,Isle of Wight and these photos remind me of it so much. It is not shut down yet,though a lot of it has fallen into the sea. The last time I was there(a very long time now) I remember seeing sections closed off to the public of rotting cavemen and dinosaurs,even of fairytale creatures.
Oh how I wish I could go back in time armed with a camera!

Amazing....I have driven past Hellingly many a time and never stopped to actually look at it from the outside.

Us Brits are too posh to vandalise the walls,so we use the chalk boards instead :p

Nobody wants to think of a child or tiny baby dying,so this is a very sobering picture.

hahaha @ tiny. I share that!
