- Next Some find the abandoned places creepy while others consider them exciting and they are even eager to explore them. Since not everyone has the opportunity as well as the necessary skills to go on an adventure themselves and travel to these eerie destinations other explorers make sure they capture their discoveries and share them with a wider audience on their social media. We all agree these places are not for everyone to visit but we must admit that the photographs showcasing these unique locations are both scary and beautiful. Also there is something very alluring in them If you are interested in having a glimpse into the urbex community and you are looking for the best profiles dedicated to this content you may be interested in checking out Deserted Places on Instagram. This account features amazing photographs and videos shared by people who visited the most mesmerizing places on the planet. We hope you like the list of images we prepared for you today. And who knows maybe you will be the next one to get lured into the eerie world of deserted places. #1 Image credits: budilnikovyy #2 Image credits: espinas3 #3 Image credits: 69_tz Bored Panda has reached out to Rafał the creator of GoUrbex. We wanted to find out more about this specific activity he dedicated himself to - the exploration of abandoned places. In addition to his YouTube channel counting over 1 million views and nearly 150 videos Rafał documents his urbex adventures and discoveries on his Instagram profile. First we asked him how he became interested in urban exploration and what inspired him to start GoUrbex. We found out that: I think it's a general curiosity. I've always been interested in how things are produced how they work and so on. Eventually I came across videos and photos of abandoned places on the internet and that's when I realized that this hobby is called urbex. I learned about it relatively late only in 2011. I live near the Kampinos National Park and I used to go with friends to explore the bunkers there where it all began. In 2013 I bought a sports camera and tried to record it but I wasn't satisfied with my footage at the time so I put the exploration aside for a while. It wasn't until 2016 that I stumbled upon the location of a well-preserved recreational center called Okrąglaki online. The place was literally perfectly preserved. Unfortunately at that time I didn't know that it's better not to delay visiting such places. A friend I was supposed to go with kept postponing the trip and when we finally went there six months later the center was significantly different from the footage from winter 2016. Initially my channel was supposed to focus on abandoned places in my area but when I returned to the topic after some time I realized that the name shouldn't limit the locations. So in 2017 my initiative under the name GoUrbex was born. Over the years I even had the opportunity to visit the closed zone of Chernobyl four times. Additionally on my channel I sometimes try to restore electricity in abandoned buildings using a converter powered by a small battery. It's a small reference to my enthusiasm for electronics. #4 Image credits: abandoned_nordic #5 Image credits: @aleksandr_nesterovskyi #6 Image credits: infinity.photographs Asked if he could share one of his most memorable experiences while exploring an abandoned location Rafał answered: Yes the most interesting place I visited was the PZL Wola factory. Paradoxically I still haven't made a film from that location but that's because the original way of filming didn't suit me. This factory produced engines for tanks large power generators as well as boats and smaller ships. The facilities were enormous abandoned for years and guarded. When I first entered the premises I felt like a spy; we had to go unnoticed without knowing the entrance to the building. We walked around the abandoned fire station unit adjacent to the building we were interested in. A few days later we returned and encountered scrap collectors who showed us a fairly well-hidden entrance. The facilities were huge and what's best is that I would often go there after work to explore new areas in the factory. Each visit to that place uncovered new rooms areas and secrets of the facilities. There I met many other explorers and I still keep in touch with some of them to this day back in November 2017. Interestingly I met Michał there who had explored Sobieskiego 100 on multiple occasions. I used to watch his films as one of the first when I was looking for materials about abandoned places. Unfortunately 1.5 years later the factory was demolished. #7 Image credits: gnek69_urbex #8 Image credits: mysteriesoftheabandoned #9 Image credits: rj__46bex Next we were curious about what challenges Rafał typically faces when exploring abandoned places and how he overcomes them. He shared with us: I think that first and foremost there is fear uncertainty and the fear of being detected. But curiosity and adrenaline compensate for that. I explored 90% of the places I visited with one or two other people. I believe that going urbexing alone is highly dangerous; it's better to have someone who can help or at least call for help in case of an accident. In abandoned places I'm most afraid of encountering people and possibly animals; I don't believe in ghosts. Sometimes in safer places I go alone to build my confidence. #10 Image credits: tovissibence #11 Image credits: espinas3 #12 Image credits: charliie.b We were also wondering how the explorer prioritizes safety both for himself and his team. Rafał said: If I see that a particular structure is in poor technical condition etc. then I don't enter. During urbex it's crucial to watch where you step pay attention to the material the floor is made of. Very old buildings often had wooden ceilings that can collapse due to moisture. For safety reasons I don't take people I don't know people who have never been on urbex trips on explorations with me. I wouldn't want anything to happen to anyone because it's difficult to convey that specific knowledge and intuition. Not everyone has the technical sense to assess risks and I definitely err on the side of caution. #13 Image credits: rbrtkfnr #14 Image credits: gregabandoned #15 Gunkanjima also known as Battleship Island was once a thriving industrial site housing over 5000 workers in its heyday. The island was completely self-sufficient with its own schools hospitals and even a swimming pool. However as the demand for coal decreased and the island's resources were depleted the mine was eventually closed in 1974 and the island was abandoned. Since then Gunkanjima has remained largely unchanged and the abandoned buildings and structures on the island have become a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can take guided tours of the island and explore the abandoned buildings which have been left to decay and have been overtaken by vegetation.Despite its eerie atmosphere Gunkanjima is an important part of Japan's history and stands as a testament to the country's rapid industrialization in the 20th century. Image credits: espinas3 Lastly we asked Rafał if there are any tips he could give to our readers and aspiring urban explorers who want to delve into abandoned places. We were told that: First and foremost do not enter places that are closed and secured. Urbex is not about breaking in so if it's closed don't force entry. As I mentioned earlier pay attention to where you step and avoid taking excessive risks for the sake of a film or a photograph. On a side note we would like to encourage you to check out Rafał's channel GoUrbex. The creator mentioned that some of his videos have English subtitles available for people worldwide curious to follow his impressive adventures. #16 Image credits: tom_juenemann #17 Image credits: places_forgotten #18 Image credits: charliie.b #19 Image credits: organize_urbex #20 Image credits: peter.rajkai #21 Image credits: like_a_free #22 Image credits: peter.rajkai #23 Image credits: solenegdsn #24 Image credits: rj__46bex #25 Image credits: anna_korob_ #26 Image credits: ksenia_hound #27 Image credits: los_schallos #28 Image credits: abandoned_nordic #29 Image credits: me_gu27 #30 Image credits: drope09 #31 Image credits: ksenia_hound #32 Image credits: alek.sikora #33 Image credits: 104b0 #34 Image credits: mgness_urbexery #35 Image credits: abandoned_nordic #36 Image credits: ___krampus___ #37 Image credits: jotafc_photography #38 Image credits: samurai #39 Image credits: justinjenny #40 Image credits: rj__46bex #41 Image credits: mjurbexphotography #42 Image credits: dark_lostroad #43 Image credits: gregabandoned #44 Image credits: burtoo #45 An abandoned subway located in Russia Image credits: lanasator #46 Image credits: jotafc_photography #47 Image credits: ilus_urbex #48 Image credits: georgmichaeljordan #49 Image credits: tenera_a #50 Michelangelo Antonioni's dome designed by Dante Bini one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century is a building with a unique past and priceless value which resists the passing of the years and still bears witness to the troubled love story between Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti.

- Previous Ahh bureaucracy. The bane of existence for everyone who lives in the so-called civilized world. Though red tape is very capable of driving any person so mad its anything but civil. But then theres people who complicate an already complicated mechanism of conduct even more by not giving a gaw-giggity. For whatever reason. And the only way to untangle this mess is a combination of patience legalese money and a spoonful of pettiness for flavoring. Oh and make it public. More Info: Reddit If youre gonna be traveling you will need a passport. But getting one might prove difficult if that depends on your very absent(minded) dad Image credits: sean hobson (not the actual photo) This one dad could never be bothered to put one signature down so his wifes current love interest made him regret it tenfold Image credits: GoSimpleGoNow In the end the dad not only lost full custody of his kids but was now also forced to start coughing up very neglected child support Image credits: Parekh Cards (not the actual photo) Reddit user u/GoSimpleGoNow recently celebrated his 10-year anniversary with the Mrs. and they remembered the challenge they needed to overcome to get married in the first place. The story goes that OP wanted to marry a lovely woman who had twins from another relationship. They decided to have a destination wedding. And this means theyre going to need proper documentation including the kids. Youd think getting the kids passports would be easy but nope red tape shall be your guide throughout (and for good reason more on that later). And if that wasnt enough the soon-to-be wifes ex was shoving sticks in the spokes with his inactivity. You see in order to get a passport for a minor for the purpose of travel at least in OPs predicament this has to be agreed upon approved verified whatever by both biological parents. However asking the dude to do his part was a bit of a predicament that the Greek mythological figure Sisyphus was in. It just went nowhere. The mother eventually filed for full custody of the kids to which the actual father didnt bother to show up and she circumvented the whole both parents requirement. However this entire situation was a waste of time money and left a petty taste in OPs mouth. Luckily there was a conduit to channel this pettiness through. Turns out the dad of said twins had some overdue child support payments. Years worth. And it was actually perfect to cover (as it turned out in the end) half of the amount of money the couple spent on bailing the kids out of the dads custody. Image credits: Massachusetts Office Of Travel & Tourism (not the actual photo) OP engaged bounty hunter mode and started tracking the dad down. It seems that he managed to elude most of the institutions that would enforce any bit of justice but OP got to him. Using social media. Yet another example of why social media hygiene is a must. Anywho OP found out the dad was a part of a local sports league that was scheduled to have a game in a nearby park. Perfect. Fast forward to the fateful day the stage is set and the plan is set into motion. OP wasnt at the game but he got first-row-seat feedback on how it all went down. The story we hear a few days later is that the county sheriff showed up to the park on the date and time we provided stops the game walks onto the field and serves bio dad with the paperwork explained OP in his post. And the rest is history. Those support paychecks started coming in soon. Commenters had a lot to say about this whole predicament. Many pointed out that the guy had it coming as child support is something thats nearly impossible to avoid. Most make the mistake thinking that once the kid turns 18 the support doesnt magically go away but actually continues to pile up as a late fee of sorts. Others explained that this is a bit of a multi-layered bit of revenge as it not only got things donethe dad was served over overdue paymentsbut also it was done publicly shaming him in front of his entire team which may or may not have had some dire consequences on a social level at the very least. And yet others shared stories of people they knew who would avoid child support payments or avoid children altogether. All in all folks felt like this isnt petty revenge as much as it ended up being deserved justice. Whatever the case folks loved it enough to net it over 4600 upvotes (with a 97% positivity rating) and a single Reddit award. Image credits: Free Gaza movement (not the actual photo) Now that red tape weve touched on a bit earlier. Bureaucracy is a universally hated concept because of how useless and unproductive it can feel to anyone who has to directly deal with it. It makes very simple results become very hard to attain. And for what? Well this one masters thesis elaborates that red tape can be a good thing as it adds a layer of protection deterring anyone who might try to abuse the system and it increases accountability for if not everyone then at least for the end user. Depending on the industry the presence of red tape might also promote higher levels of quality (whether operations or products) and increase performance. In OPs case kids are a delicate topic and having grown-ups jump through all of these hurdles is a safeguard against human trafficking of vulnerable groups of people. Not that the parents themselves would ever do that but the overall mechanism is in place to make it every bit impossible for human traffickers to abuse loopholes. At the end of the day bureaucracy is essentially a set of rules folks agreed upon for this to run smoothly and efficiently i.e. the way its supposed to in an objective and clear manner. There is also the added benefit of equality and egalitarianism involved as its all based on logical and impartial guidelines devoid of emotion. I wont go into detail about why red tape is a pain where the sun dont shine but know this that government institutions companies and organizations would not make use of red tape if it didnt serve a good enough reason. Otherwise their functions as entities would be impossible. So its a necessary evil. But do you know what else is a necessary evil? The comment section. You know what to do. But dont be evil in the comments were all friends here. Folks online praised the author of the post for his ingenuity and detective work garnering the post nearly 5K upvotes The post All We Needed Was A Signature: Guy Cant Get Wifes Ex To Sign Documents That Would Let Him Travel With His Kids Makes Him Regret It first appeared on Bored Panda.
