Album. When I arrived, my camera battery had almost run out, so I had to work quickly and be careful with selecting shots. The place was huge and it did indeed run out before I could get a lot of what I wanted, unfortunately. However I still think I got a pretty decent set - what you see here is almost everything I shot.
edit: I'm late with this, but since this got popular, here's some more of my photography if anyone's interested: https://500px.com/rwhitephoto

It's in the Lock 12 area along the Susquehanna river... By Susquehannock state park. I can't remember if this one was Lock 12 or one of the other Locks I saw while hiking that day, there are a few of them. I love the area. The best way to find it is if you are coming from Lancaster, drive across the Norman Wood Bridge. Right as you cross the bridge, turn right into the Lock 12 area park. (If you are coming from york, it would be a left hand turn). Then you can just hike along the trails there and find all the old canal locks. Here is a decent trail map of the place: (there is other abandoned stuff there to explore) http://www.everytrail.com/guide/mason-dixon-trail-10-miles-hard-in-pennsylvania

This one's kinda sensationalist but it's got a bunch of primary source photos and accounts: https://www.amazon.ca/Eye-Deep-Hell-Trench-Warfare-World/dp/0801839475
I can't recall actually reading a book on the conditions on the various fronts, at the various times in the war (like a trench from 1914 looked dramatically different than one in 1917), it's mostly just stuff you glean in passing by reading about the war. It's worth learning about the whole conflict - I maintain that it is the most important event in the modern world and nearly everything else that's happened since is resolution of stuff that started in the Great War (that's a bit of an exaggeration but whatever).
Here are a few more pictures of the ferry
Here is the TL;DR version:
Ah, that takes me back. I spent a whole year building a game level based on reference pictures of that place for my senior project in design school. I had to fill in lots of detail from my imagination since I've never been there, but it still feels like I used to live there or something.
A video of the project for anyone interested.
I think this is the Google Maps Location. The image matches with one on a Salon article decrying the death of architecture from February 2012. The article indicates the buildings are in Estepona which is about 90km away from Malaga. The buildings from the satellite view seem to match the layout of the buildings in Google Maps, along with the golf course sitting in front of it. The street views of the motorway (runs under a tunnel near these buildings) had a ton of cranes in the pictures. I'm betting this area was vastly overbuilt.
Nah. Some dude made that word up and it stuck.
Podcasts are platform agnostic, as in you can listen to them on anything with an internet connection. If you're on a PC then you just go to the podcast's page and you can listen to it right there.
Podcast apps on phones and such just give you a convenient place to keep them all together and updated (also handy features like speeding up/slowing down the audio, playlists, favorites and sleep timer).

Even if you don't count instagram, tumblr and imgur are both widely used as image hosting services, and they're both way ahead of Flickr. Sure, Tumblr is a blogging site first and foremost, but I don't see how you can argue that Flickr is a more popular photograph hosting website than Imgur. Imgur was created specifically to host pictures that people post on other websites. And according to the link you posted, it's pretty clearly more popular than Flickr is.
""A fast-moving, eerie...tale set on Halloween night. Eight costumed boys running to meet their friend Pipkin at the haunted house outside town encounter instead the huge and cadaverous Mr. Moundshroud. As Pipkin scrambles to join them, he is swept away by a dark Something, and Moundshroud leads the boys on the tail of a kite through time and space to search the past for their friend and the meaning of Halloween. After witnessing a funeral procession in ancient Egypt, cavemen discovering fire, Druid rites, the persecution of witches in the Dark Ages, and the gargoyles of Notre Dame, they catch up with the elusive Pipkin in the catacombs of Mexico, where each boy gives one year from the end of his life to save Pipkin's. Enhanced by appropriately haunting black-and-white drawings."--Booklist"

Here's one I take every now and then, it feels totally bizarre driving because the edges of the highway are completely ungroomed, and the cracks in the highway are unsealed, then it just ends, and you pass under a bridge that the highway was supposed to go over, but nothing is up there.
Have you read Isaac’s Storm by Peter Larson*? It’s about the 1900 Hurricane and is written by the same guy who wrote The Devil in the White City that’s being made into a movie. It’s a fantastic read and really gave me perspective on the region after moving to Houston years back. I highly recommend it if you haven’t already.

It's my dads. It looks exactly like a normal house. I'll take a quick pic with my surface and edit this comment when in I get it uploaded. (256k wireless sucks balls. Out in the boonies.)

the porch was added in the 30s but the original house was built in the early 1900s. The sod was cut by a team of horses and you can still see where they did it in the winter. The entire house took 1 year to build according to my grandpa who is no longer around.)

Outside. The camera on the surface is fucking terrible. Sorry for the quality but really it just looks like any other turn of the century house.
Here's some more shots of it. All I could find in a quick google search is that it was wrecked in the 60s and was stuck in between two rocks out there and the costs were to high to retreive it so the owners just left it there. There was also mention that Aristotle Onassis was the owner but I'm not so sure about that. Anyone else have some more info?

I think it's worth quite a bit, and therein lies the problem. Not much use for a mall-sized space, as indoor malls are becoming a thing of the past for the most part. The former Windsor Park Mall here in San Antonio sat empty for probably the better part of a decade before Rackspace bought it, and that was with the help of a good number of tax breaks. Interestingly, for a broad definition of the word anyway, the mall's previous too-small space is now a megachurch, and has been for probably 20 plus years. But most of them I think just sit until they're demolished.
I live here, too, and I was actually very surprised the reddit is NOT banned. One thing /u/10110101010101010 that makes reddit a little annoying here, though, is that often sites that users link to reddit in a post, are sometimes blocked by the firewall, so you end up with a lot of thumbnails for broken links, that you can't read unless you turn on your VPN.
Just an FYI, my internet is a little slow today and it speedtested as follows:
16.44 Mbps with my VPN off 20.73 Mbps with my WPN on and connected to the fastest server.
It's actually very common with my VPN that it will be FASTER on, than off. But VyprVPN doesn't allow torrenting, and they keep a log of your use, albeit temporary.

Where is that? I want to go there next time I visit Florida! The address I found on Google doesn't look like it.
For those asking, I found it:
It's the big school building there on the corner.
I couldn't find it just searching for "Disney's River Country" on Google Maps but I think <strong>this is it</strong>.
Edit: Definitely it. If you drag the street view guy, you can plant him on spots where people uploaded photos! TIL.

I had thought that, being in Austria, they would be German cars, so maybe Opels. But I think I found it, they are late 1930s to early 1950s FIAT 1100. Look at the ventilation slots at the sides of the hood. Three sets of two slots, one above the other. And look at the grille, with alternating chrome and painted bars.

The area where they've been keeping the prisoners is outside the old stone walls I believe. There are buildings outside the south-west wall where they kept up to 160 female prisoners.

This is the exact location, the one you posted was the West Meon Station, not the tunnel. Apparently you have to get special permission the turn the lights on and ride there. Some teams have ridden there as recently as January.
Also, here it is on Google Maps :)

And one of the key people to have started the Seattle Underground movement by preserving Pioneer Square and creating the tour itself, Bill Speidel, wrote a book called Sons of Profits. For some it's a bit of a slough to get through as Bill Speidel is a bit cheeky in his writing and throws in a lot of tongue-in-cheek roundabout jokes (That humor is also found to this day through the tour guides that lead you through the Seattle Underground), but I myself found the book enjoyable and interesting enough.
That one book looks quite good:
A brilliant and concise account of the lives and ideas of the great philosophers—Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Spinoza, Voltaire, Kant, Schopenhauer, Spencer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Croce, Russell, Santayana, James, and Dewey—The Story of Philosophy is one of the great books of our time. Few write for the non-specialist as well as Will Durant, and this book is a splendid example of his eminently readable scholarship. Durant’s insight and wit never cease to dazzle; The Story of Philosophy is a key book for any reader who wishes to survey the history and development of philosophical ideas in the Western world.

this reminds me of the following picture in the same region of South Australia
this is not my pic, but taken from interfacelift.
I accidentally discovered this collection of Ford Edsel cars during a road trip across Canada in 2011. I photographed the collection for a short period of time, then vowed to return someday to do a comprehensive exploration. I was able to return during another road trip last May and spent an entire afternoon and night photographing the cars and, later, the stars under some stormy Alberta skies.
A local in a nearby town later informed me about a retired man who had been collecting the derelict cars from around North America for many years (for no apparent reason).
In recent years, the Edsels (as well as dozens of classic Mercury cars and ancient crop threshers) have been sitting in this field abandoned due to his advanced age. Yet, they're mostly in great (but non-functional) condition.
The Ford Edsel bombed when it was introduced in 1958 and production ended in 1960. This field is arguably the biggest collection of abandoned lemons a person could stumble across!
I made these pictures myself this summer. It is one of the most bizarre things to be found on Sicily, if you ask me! You have to enter the house through the roof or the upper floor window. The lower floor is completely filled with lava. If I recall correctly this house was lived in until about 1950, when the volcano claimed back here territory.

You are, of course, correct that it does not have to be accidentally, a train can be derailed on purpose, and there are devices and track arrangements that exist for this very reason
They key phrase, which they all use, is 'to cause x to run off the track' - the vehicle has to be in motion to be able to derail. The fact that this carriage has been put in place and not run off the track and landed there means it has not derailed (Though whether the carriage body itself was previously salvaged from a derailment is anyone's guess).
A rail vehicle being jacked up clear of the rails, or lifted off by a crane, is not referred to as derailing.
As an aside, Oxford English Dictionary does include 'accidentally'
