Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

And what about whole abandoned islands?

[–]Penisingpenisberry 4 points5 points ago

Nice, Hashima Island looks perfect for urban ruins exploration.

            from the 2311pts link, someone posted this as a representation of what nature does to man's leftovers:

            http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cc/8_-_AmStar_7.JPG

            I've been there, the American Star, it was off the West Coast of Fuertaventura, I saw it just about when that picture was taken too, although I was very young (9yrs ago I think?), and I have the poster! But now, and since when I've been back on holiday it has receded into the waves and now lies as a pile of rust beneath the surf

            [–]4DUCK2TAPE0 233 points234 points ago

            Because something this cool should be reposted every once in a while. Not everybody has seen everything on the internet yet, and probably won't if it doesn't get reposted. That's how advertising, and to a broader extent propaganda, works.

            Edit: changed reposed to reposted.

            [–]Shinhan 107 points108 points ago

            You should also note that most of those older reposts have the name of place in the title...

            [–]LeoPanthera 45 points46 points ago

            Where did he complain that it was a repost? I see no complaint.

            The links are useful to read the previous comments.

            [–]AdamMcFly 6 points7 points ago

            Agreed. Hes replying to a statment that wasnt made.

                    [–]Ollie84 11 points12 points ago

                    Does it never freeze there? Because those walls look pretty good for that age.

                    [–][deleted] 26 points27 points ago

                    Sorrento has a mediterranean climate, and as someone who lives in a mediterranean climate, it rarely freezes.

                    [–]Doxep 8 points9 points ago

                    You could safely say it (almost) never snows and the temperature is almost never below 5°C.

                    [–]Failociraptor 8 points9 points ago

                    The next question is why does there appear to be a moat around it?

                    [–]sleevey 91 points92 points ago

                    Often old mills have a wheel like a paddle steamer on the side of them which is driven by the flowing river. This is connected to a driveshaft which goes through the wall of the mill and drives a heavy millstone which is used to grind grain into flour.

                    [–]frissonaut 21 points22 points ago

                    This isn't common knowledge as to how water mills work?

                    [–]sleevey 25 points26 points ago

                    I suppose it's common to all the people that know it.

                      Thankyou. I'm puzzled by the downvotes though. It seems mostly people are appreciative of a bit of interesting information but there are still people downvoting as well. It's a very neutral comment, why would anyone bother downvoting it?

                      [–]Lottanubs 9 points10 points ago

                      There are always going to be downvotes. Its like have a few Redditors who just hate absolutely everything.

                          [–]Doxep 0 points1 point ago

                          It's the river from which the mill used to take water. Nobody said it's a mill, but this is called Vallone dei Mulini, Mill Valley, because this is a mill.

                          Except for in the title that says "Abandoned Mill".

                              Half meter thick stone walls have a habit of staying in the same place, even with seasonal freeze thaw cycles.

                                        I knew where it was as soon as I saw the picture, as I've been to Sorrento many times. That mill is a few minutes from breathtaking views of the bay of Naples, and I've spent many a day with a bottle of wine and book admiring the view.

                                                It's actually within the town of Sorrento and surrounded on all sides by buildings.

                                                Directly to the north of where it says Parafarmacia De Angelis Dr. Fabrizia on the map.

                                                It's pretty interesting because it isn't MARKED anywhere that it's there. There's a strip of shops on this street that ends with a typical looking bridge. When I looked over the edge I was shocked to see that thing because I had seen it online years before.

                                                I glanced and read the title as Abandoned Milf from 1966. I was expecting a hot 30+ white lady with a beehive hairdo standing on the side of the road. This is ok.

                                                Wow, I know that this will probably get buried... but

                                                This is a photo I took in 2006 (Deviantart.com)

                                                I gather this is often photographed but I forgot all about it and was a bit of a whoa moment when I saw the thumbnail!

                                                Geez, this was under the BDSM midget clown nsfw post, so I read "abandoned MILF" and for a good minute I felt like someone not clever enough to get the link between old ruins and mothers someone would like to fuck.

                                                I've been there! There are many more mills scattered throughout the valleys. Exploring inside you feel like you're in the Ocarina's Forest Temple. There are holes in the floors, vines draped down steep stone stairs, and the occasional lone hobo kits. Might have pictures that aren't terrible quality if people are interested.

                                                This is the abandoned karma mill of reposts.

                                                reposts go in and karma comes out, highly refined

                                                YES! My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Sorrento in May and I spent about an hour getting pictures of this. Someday we may actually get around to getting all those pics off the memory cards.

                                                I went there in April, stumbled across it and took many pics, meaning to research what it was when back in the UK.

                                                Naturally I forgot, so I'm glad I've finally answered the question that never really bothers me.

                                                  I've seen it before too... but regardless, it's beautiful. Makes me want to visit Italy after I scratch together enough money.

                                                      Not as spooky as you'd think. It's inside a little crevasse surrounded by city on all sides.

                                                        It's pretty scary if you're afraid of heights. The main road (that this pic was taken from) only has a small railing on it and then it just drops away right down to that floor. Vertigo!

What's not to like...I can understand not upvoting it, but what about it makes someone downvote it? Pretty new to this site (pre-Obama though so cut me some slack), and just curious why some people downvote seemingly innocuous material/comments.

                                                          This will get buried, but if I remember correctly, this mill is pretty far below the street level in Sorrento. It's is a sort of valley that runs through the middle of town.

                                                          If I further remember correctly, the valley was created by erosion of soft minerals by water.

                                                          I have some panoramic pics of the whole valley. I'll try to find them and post them later today.

                                                          About 10 years ago, before my parents divorced, my family used to own a renovated mill near a small town called Poppei (on the train so not sure of the spelling) in (or near) Florence, Italy. It was completely surrounded by hills and trees and you couldn't see another house. There was a stream that went a long side it. It was just beautiful. We used to rent it out for self-catered holidays and then in the summer go drive down from Belgium (where we lived at the time) all the way down and stay for between 3 weeks and 2 months... and then not eat pizza and pasta for at least 6 months.

We have pictures near this, its a sheer drop from the side of the road, I don't like heights... This gave me that testicular tingly feeling heights love to give me... I hate it.

Tried to get my friends to climb down with me to check it out but they were all chickenshit :( Thanks for the post I've been wondering since then what that place was and still searching around for a few cool peeps to explore it with me.

                                                          i remember seeing that when i went on holiday there. pity there's no way down to the building itself really

                                                          [–]biggyph00l 1 point2 points ago

                                                          I have a strange question. It seems like this was built into the ground. Was that the case? I can't imagine why, but I also can't imagine that the earth around it all the sudden sprung up and it didn't. Also, sink hole isn't likely, it'd be destroyed. Anyone know whats happening there?

                                                          Well, what do we have here? You must be a new arrival...

                                                          That's awesome. Reminds me of a creation made in Minecraft.

                                                          I think its in Sorrento, Italy. If not, I saw one that looked just like it while on holiday there.

                                                          Oh man, this was probably one of the things I will always remember about Sorrento. It was/is a gorgeous site. You pretty much look over the side of a sheer rock face and bam there it is. I think my friends and I spent about thirty minutes just looking at it.

                                                          [–]poitsplace 1 point2 points ago

                                                          I think the remains of Great Falls Mill in Rockingham NC are much nicer. The kudzu makes them look ancient.

                                                          Geez, that is just so beautiful. I want to live there. Reminds me of Paronella Park in a way. Similar design I guess. :)

                                                          http://www.paronellapark.com.au/

                                                          (just so you guys know what I'm talking about)

                                                          But yeah, seriously, that is one beautiful old building. I wouldn't even change one single thing about it. :) Gorgeous. :)

                                                          Looks scary as Fuck. It's probably haunted.

                                                          That would be an epic restoration project.

                                                          That's almost 150 years of abandonment and negligence. We've been looking at houses here in China recently. I do believe we should consider ourselves luck if we find a house that will last just 10 percent of that.

                                                          don't know whether to be creeped out from hauntiness or amazed from coolness

                                                          If we're posting really cool overgrown, secluded places I have an entire thread from /b/ of the exact subject with hundreds of pics like these.

                                                          I have a billion photos of this when I went last year. Reminded me of Assassins Creed. Hell of a drop though, one could easily climb over and fall to their deaths, at least 150 feet down, always wondered why it was built so far down...

                                                          Is that mill haunted? I thought I saw it on tv in past. Not sure if that is the site or some place else. Anyone remember "fear" on MTV?
