Built in the 1930's, today it's not in shape to have visitors anymore. In 2008, two city commissioners presented grandiose plans for a reconstruction of the establishment. Nothing has yet happened (although Skrotmumrik below in the comment section has hint something else).
I didn't feel the need to linger too long on this deserted street. Many empty storefronts and perhaps someone with a sharpened chainsaw nearby!!
After 3 weeks of trekking through the Sagamartha National park in Nepal in search of desolate locations to shoot landscapes, I came across this lake, set at the basecamp for Cho Oyo (8100m) near the Tibetan border.
Camped by the lake, I spent several days exploring this area in some pretty extreme conditions, with temperatures low enough to freeze a bottle of water inside the tent, and the thin air of 5200m which seemed to make every action difficult!
This was shot late one evening as the light was fading and a light snowfall just beginning.

-the summit of Armboth Fell.
I think that Armboth Fell gets a rough deal in terms of positive regard, for even the famous guidebook writer A. Wainwright wrote “walkers may justifiably consider its ascent a waste of time and energy when so many more rewarding climbs are available, for the flat desolate top is little better than a quagmire, a tangle of swamp and heather and mosses, as is much of the surrounding territory. It can be said of very few fells that they are not really worth climbing; Armboth Fell is one of the few”.
I feel that Wainwright’s words are rather harsh and, whilst not to everybody’s taste, Armboth Fell is a wonderfully remote and desolate moorland habitat flourishing in wildlife. Every time I visit, I encounter groups of deer and hovering birds of prey. It is certainly a tranquil escape from other people, and definitely one of my favourite places.

Brent and my younger brother and I drove to the Salton Sea in October, because I heard of a place that many photographers visit called Bombay Beach. When we got there, we all just kind of stood there in silence, because it was truly the most desolate and surreal place I've ever seen. There was a trailer park in this area of the beach once, but it flooded, and now there's just empty rotting shells of trailers and vehicles. I think this may have been a UPS truck. Everything is encrusted with salt, and the "sand" is made up of mostly fish bones. Everything was shades of white . . . from the salt to the sand to the sky. It smelled of dead fish and there were fish heads everywhere. It was one of the most disturbing experiences I've had in my life.
Little did I know
That I almost let you go
Until I caught a glimpse of life
without you
Little did I know
How deep these roots had grown
Until I felt the earth quake here
without you
And this ache is gonna break me love
Until you come back home
Right or wrong
There is no home without you
And these eyes are never gonna dry
I never knew how I could cry
Until I thought I'd really lost you

Copenhagen Central station found empty at 8pm, that's unusual.
