Abandoned train in Okha, Sakhalin Island, Russia


I love this picture by photographer Andrew Moore, it looks so much like it's taken in Africa. In fact, and it's quiet surprising the location is in the far north-east of Russia on the Sakhalin Island.

  1. this is abandoned in still-disputed territory! japan and the former soviet union have argued over Okha ever since the end of WW2.
