Something for you people writing SciFi/Cyberpunk maybe, but I am sure there is inspiration for many stories in these pictures.

quite oddly, that was exactly the right thing at exactly the right time. my main characters are actually going through an abandoned city and these pictures were wonderful for inspiration.

thankyou for that.

[though, i will concede that many of the pictures were pretty creepy, too.]

I can't say I will be using those pics as inspiration for my novel but my thoughts have been provoked and my goosebumps have goosebumped.

*mind boggling*

I would actually consider going to visit some some of those places if I ever had the chance to go traveling, They look surreal in the pictures.

OMG! Those pics are awesome! I wish I'd followed the link while I was scratching around looking for a plot a few days ago. All sorts of ideas came rushing at me. I've forced myself only to look at the first four or five pics and have bookmarked the site for further serious investigation later ... after Nano!

Thanks for the link, Phaezen.
