Hitler's regiment operated in this exact area 1914-1918. The elevated paths you walk on? Old trench lines. The bumps in the forest floor? Shell craters.
Ieper spends millions on tourism infrastructure and ignores the raw, real stuff 5km away.
I'm building guided bunker routes. Who's interested?

Lost in the forests of #Yorkshire, a series of stone pillars form a circle.

This isn't an actual "Druid's Temple", it is an elaborate 19th-century folly.

However, the site is tied to unusual local folklore.

πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ A series of rough-cut stone pillars and massive blocks of millstone grit emerge from a conifer forest in North Yorkshire. While the site appears to be an ancient ritual ground featuring a central altar and standing stones, it is actually a 19th-century folly built to imitate a prehistoric monument. This interesting place is the site of several curious folklore tales and spooky happenings!

Full feature live Saturday at 8 pm (UK)

❀️‍πŸ”₯Going out in Art Deco style! This 1920s crematorium in Romania has bold geometric design, picked out by black tiles set against white surrounding tiles. The overall design inspired by the Art Deco movement of the time: clean lines, geometric forms, and a sense of grandeur.

Igreja de Nossa Senhora da SaΓΊde (Church Of Our Lady Of Health), Serpa, Portugal

Inside this Portuguese cemetery lies a Baroque gem. The old chapel had a gold-gilded altar and polychrome tiled walls. A small wooden door leads to a hidden ossuary, a place filled with ornate wooden caskets. The carved boxes containing bones are blanketed in dust. A hauntingly beautiful reflection on mortality.

Mausoleum K is a grand family tomb that serves as the final resting place for a wealthy German family.

It's an example of late neoclassical funerary architecture, designed as a rotunda.

This undercroft holds the coffins, heavy wooden caskets with metal fittings and carved verses.

An abandoned cafe in the town of Pripyat for #DoorsDay.

Figured I'd take the opportunity to post a couple more of the many (many, many) photos I took while visiting Chernobyl and Pripyat because why not?

#FotoVorschlag - Kurioses Souvenir Β»Curious SouvenirΒ«

Without a doubt my most strange souvenir was the ever so slight bit of radiation ☒️ that I brought home after visiting Chernobyl and Pripyat while visiting Ukraine.

As soon as we got there an adorable stray dog came up to us. There are packs of strays living in the Exclusion Zone because pets were left behind when Pripyat was evacuated (residents were told to leave them as they'd be back be home within 24 hours). We obviously gave the very friendly cutie some attention and pets... Right before we were briefed 𝘯𝘰𝘡 to touch the animals because of radiation. 🫒 Still #WorthIt
