Gorgeous black-and-white photographs of abandoned buildings on Gunkanjima, an island used for coal mining, but completely abandoned since 1974.

On the whole they strike me as being a little overexposed. Of course you can't tell, with an electronic medium, whether that's an artifact of the photo, or the rather tortured process required to get it to the point where it's displayed on a monitor.

The fact that the iamges don't have an embedded colour profile isn't a good sign though.
