I’m asking for this again. If people can get dark grid view, we should be able to get collapsable & hidden items like we get in iPhoto. Consistency right?
∞∞Château de Noisy, Celles, Houyet, Namur, Belgium (via missionabandoned)
Le Château de Noisy (also named Château Miranda) was built by the English architect Milner in 1866 as a summer home for the family of the Count of Liedekerke-Beaufort. The family stayed there until World War 2, when the castle was briefly occupied by the Nazi’s. In 1958, the NMBS (the Belgian railroad company) used it as a home to shelter the railroadmen’s children and wives.
Since 1991 the building is abandoned. The village of Celles tried several times to buy the castle and its ground but the family doesn’t want to take distance of the castle. The building has over 500 windows, which are almost all shattered along with several of the staircases inside. There is still a clock tower of 56 meters tall. The castle is popular amongst urban explorers.
“Charles Amirkhanian interviews Lowell Sheehy, who describes his visit to Afghanistan, and plays recordings he made in 1969 of the music he heard there. Lowell Sheehy describes his low-budget trips to Afghanistan, and how he met and recorded these impromptu performances in tea houses throughout southern Afghanistan.”
Any of you Afghans know the first song that plays, beginning around the 10min mark? I sorta love it.

These things capsized a Japanese fishing boat the other day!

Bring me there.
Reminds me of this guy I was telling a friend about last night. Italian guy who died this year. Holds the records for longest time in isolation. Years and years. For research. Still trying to remember his name. Anyway, if I was doing that, this might have to be the cave I’d pick.
