Abandoned Station Silently Waiting For Signals

2016/02/27

Numerous non-functioning antennas are located not so far from Anadyr in the north of Russia. Troposphere communication station "Yukon" and a local civil TV center used to function there too. Due to army reduction and development of satellite means of communication the demand in the costly station finally declined and in 2003 it was closed. The TV center was closed ten years later.

The station does not receive any signals today and its rusty discs sadly stare at the sky.

Check out how the station, that still has much equipment inside, looks like today.

Abandoned Storm Factory of the Crimea

2016/02/26

This object built in the Soviet time in the Crimea resembles a huge glass, but water is not poured inside but in between the glass walls. On top are big storm creating fans. On the bottom of that glass is a tower.

It's like a small water collider - thought by many as strange and unnecessary, wrapped in mysteries, real and fake stories, some even believed in dolphins swimming between those glass walls.

But what is this object really for? Why was it built? Let's check this out.

The Bay Invaded by Jellyfish

2016/02/23

Such a phenomenon can be seen each year in the bay of Balaklava under Sevastopol: all its water area gets filled with jellyfish.

Boats, ships, expensive yachts stand in the white jelly mess squishing under the feet of people walking by.

According to scientists this phenomenon occurs due to wind currents and population inflow - jellyfish accumulates in the water area of the Balaklava bay like in a sack.

Another side factor is high temperature of both the air (to +20C) and the water (to +14C) in this period.

Breathtaking Photos of Kazakh Nature From the Height

2016/02/23

Now, when so many people feel tired of winter and cold, we come up with these beautiful and sunny pictures of the Semirechye (Seven Rivers) region of Kazakhstan. It has a wide spectrum of climatic zones and impresses with its landscape diversity.

Almost all the photos were taken by journalist and aviation lover Grigory Bedenko. He tried to choose the most unusual angles.

Legendary River Under Central Minsk

2016/02/23

The legendary river Nemiga is hidden under central streets of Minsk, Belarus. The first description of the river is dated 1985, its first photos appeared in the Internet in 2001. But today the web is flooded with its images, as more and more people dare to come down under the ground for makingtheir own photo reports.

Such tour is not safe, especially when it may start raining. Some people have already died in manifolds of Kiev in rainy weather due to heavy flooding.

The images of voolchitza are the most "honest", without abundant effects and filters. They reveal the true atmosphere of the Nemiga and the Soviet time manifold.

The Lonely Giant

It's hard imagine that such a huge building has been fully abandoned for several years...

.. We are in a Russian city of Taganrog and here's a main building of a former combine harvester factory. We are going to join blogger kerrangjke and visit each storey of the building, go down to the shelter and climb to the roof to observe the city from its height.

2016/02/23

Here's an interesting finding from a Latvian forest - five hermetic containers intended for German saboteurs, who acted in the time of WWII in the rear of Red Army. All these seventy years the containers were reliably protected from moisture, so the contents are preserved even better than it could be at a warehouse.

Hand grenade RGD-33. The cap well is empty.
