Hashima Island on Google Street View
« on: June 12, 2016, 09:44:39 PM »
Hashima Island (aka Battleship Island) is a long old favourite source of insipration for me. I was pleasantly surprised today to find out Google actually has the island on street view!

https://www.google.com/maps/@32.628082,129.7379642,3a,75y,17.66h,82.99t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sR1abcgRC4i2HELC_iRCpFA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Enjoy the ride!! I know I did, much insipration there.

I believe I read an article about the photographing.
They sent a guy with a camera-backpack to walk everywhere on that Island.
Correction : I saw video footage of it :
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Its like someone went into all the buildings, tore off the floorboards, and threw them into the streets. 0.0

Really interesting. :D
