Hvítserkur, Iceland
© sigfus.sigmundssonHvitserkur is the last remains of a central volcano, about 15 m high. Legend has it that this is a troll turned into stone when he was surprised by the sun while attacking a nearby abbey with rocks.
All coast U.S.A.
I took a map of the contiguous part of the United States, erased all the bits which didn’t have a coastal border, and joined those coasts together to make an island. Labelled version here.
It may be wrong, but I find this just a little strange. Maybe it’s OK, but I find twins dressed identically very creepy. This is a whole town of them. With children it can be passed off as cute, but with the elderly, it’s especially unnerving.
Bangour Village Hospital in Uphall, Scotland in the United Kingdom.
(photo by michag)Bangour is an abandoned hospital which served many purposes, most notably as a mental institution. The hospital officially opened in October 1906, but already received and treated patients in from 1904. Bangour comprised individual villas which would house approximately 30 patients each. The village also incorporated its own railway station, a farm, bakery, workshops, recreation hall, school, shop, library and a multi-denominational church. During both World Wars the hospital was used by the government to treat the soldiers. Bangour had over 3,000 patients at its peak. The hospital closed in 2004 after it winded down with the opening of St. John’s Hospital in Livingston.
