Weekend Supplement #18

Hey everyone!
How was your week? Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to all my American readers! This week, most of my internet surfing has been built around a central theme; uninhabited places of the world. There is something so fascinating, and often terribly sad, about abandoned cities, ghost towns, and empty islands. So I dug in and did some research:

See the abandoned island city of Hashima, as Messy Nessy Chic takes us into the latest Bond villain's lair.

Mental Floss discusses ten uninhabited islands, and the reasons for their being empty of people, in this fascinating article.

Urban Ghosts explores nine ghost stations of the underground - these photographs are spectacular, and it's odd to think of these spaces lying unused right under our feet.

My blog pick this week is Tattooed Tea Lady, one I'm sure you already know. But if you don't click on over, it's awesome you'll be clicking back through the archives in no time!
