I have some good ones of an abandoned coconut plantation - the plantation house, some out buildings and even the cemetery. I'll have to scan them first since they're still 35mm prints. I took them at Diego Garcia in 1989 when the ship I was stationed on stopped there for supplies and fuel. A side of the atoll that most don't get to see, it's on the other side of the lagoon from the military base.

about an hour north of me in cincinnati they started a subway project sometime in probably the early to mid 1900's i would guess but they only built like 10 or 12 miles of it. you can see some of the tunnels from i75 when your rolling through and ive heard of people checking them out but quite honestly i wouldnt go wandering around becasue cincy is full of meth heads these days.
