New Brother Island Ghost Town--Near Manhattan, New York

[Devin]

Hey all,

Saw this place in a news article the other day and thought I would share. It is on a little island relatively close to Manhattan, New York. From seeing these pics though no one would ever guess that is was that close to a major city. It's a very well preserved ghost town, but with a sad history. Check out the two links--lots of pics

This guy's photography reminds me of the photography on this website:

http://www.opacity.us/

The photographer on the "opacity" website explores abandoned buildings and takes photographs of both the interior and exterior. If you enjoy that type of exploration/photography, be warned: You may end up spending hours and hours perusing the pics...

...I know I have.

Very very cool! Wow, I'm blown away by this place.

Those photos are amazing! Thanks for posting up Devin. Everything about that is incredible from the location, the history, and the abandonment.

I have never had a desire to visit New York more than I do now. I even had to update my facebook profile picture.
