Gunkanjima Island:  Once the most densely populated place in the world, this island is now a ghost town. FEW PLACES IN THE WORLD have a history as odd, or as poignant as Gunkanjima’s. The tiny, fortress-like island lies just off the coast of Nagasaki. The island is ringed by a seawall, covered in tightly packed buildings, and entirely abandoned - a ghost town that has been completely uninhabited for more than forty years. In the early 1900s, Gunkanjima was developed by the Mitsubishi Corporation, which believed - correctly - that the island was sitting on a rich submarine coal deposit. For almost the next hundred years, the mine grew deeper and longer, stretching out under the seabed to harvest the coal that was powering Japan’s industrial expansion. By 1941, the island, less than one square kilometer in area, was producing 400,000 tonnes of coal per year. And many of those working slavishly in the undersea mine were forced laborers from Korea. Even more remarkable than the mine was the city that had grown up around it. To accommodate the miners, ten-story apartment complexes were built up on the tiny rock - a high-rise maze linked together by courtyards, corridors, and stairs. There were schools, restaurants, and gaming houses, all encircled by the protective seawall. The island became known as “Midori nashi Shima,” the island without green. Amazingly, by the mid-1950s, it housed almost six thousand people, giving it the highest population density the world has ever known. And then the coal ran out. Mitsubishi closed the mine, everyone left, and this island city was abandoned, left to revert back to nature. The apartments began to crumble, and for the first time, in the barren courtyards, green things started to grow. Broken glass and old newspapers blew over the streets. The sea-breeze whistled through the windows. Now, fifty years later, the island is exactly as it was just after Mitsubishi left. A ghost town in the middle of the sea.

我從來都冇見過佢嘅爺爺。不過聽過好多人講佢係元朗係一個好出名嘅醫生。我爹哋話佢成日行街啲人會埋嚟同佢講，”你個爸爸係接生我㗎！” I guess that’s a blessing in our family. We always get people coming up to us saying something about our fathers. I wonder what kind of legacy I might leave for my son one day. 我覺得自己性格都幾適合做醫生。好少情況會緊張或者興奮。always pretty chill。講嘢好calm oh and my handwriting looks like surrealist art. GSCE 嘅時候科學攞A！如果我有見過我嘅爺爺我會唔會考慮做醫生呢？ Thank you @hkreminiscence . 因為你個興趣and passion我同我該爺爺嘅關拉近左。I guess its really true about what they say, “some people trash in another’s treasure.” • 在塑膠尚未風行之時，往昔診所都使用玻璃藥水瓶。 林達志醫生，就是林子祥的父親。他出身於杏林世家，爺爺是那打素醫院院長，父親是婦產科醫生，在元朗青山道 120號的婦嬰產院執業，是區內最早期的私人執業西醫，聽說林子祥都是由父親接生。 那個在炎夏暑假跟爸爸同行，沿途談來日打算的他，年紀輕輕就負笈英國，多年以後回港成為歌星，父子才重新聯繫。引以為傲的父親，偶爾也會用Beta帶錄起兒子的電視表演片段。工作事忙的歌星，有夜工作至凌晨，歸家時途經父親的診所，輕問「爹哋，你好嗎？」那夜父親就辭世了。 一切只剩追憶，像時日總未逗留。 . . . . . . . #hk #hkig #hkiger #oldhk #discoverhongkong #urbex #urbexworld #ruins #hkruins #lostplace #abandoned #urbexphotography #hongkong #hkphotography #abondonedplaces #hkreminiscence #yuenlong #香港遺美 #元朗 #medicine #林子祥 #林達志 #追憶 https://www.instagram.com/p/CdvokfHBzju/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

   Lübbey'in gizemi kendisinde gizlidir. Köy hakkında ileri sürülen cin safsatası gerçek dışıdır. İnsanların hayat uğrunda terk ettiği bu köyde kalan yaklaşık 8 ocak hayatına devam etmektedir.   Kimbilir daha çok kazanan belki de kalanlardır. Evlerin altı taş- ahır maksatlı- üstü ahşaptır. En sağlam kalan yerleri "taş ocakları"... Sessizliğe bürünmüş bu dağ köyünde çok derin hikayeler sizleri bekliyor.   Toprak sahipleri tarafından bırakılan bu köyde bir çay ocağı ile butik bir otel bulunmaktadır. Bu sefer uzaktan kareler paylaşacağım. Detaylar bir sonraki gönderimde... Tabii bazılarını kendime saklayacağım...
