Nevermind In Sovietland By Photographer Tomeu Coll
Vorkuta, Russia, 2009

It was built by gulag inmates but was given purpose by the coal industry that used to be the region’s lifeblood. Now mining has disappeared, leaving many of its outposts abandoned.

Rare Weird And Funny Pictures Show Hilarious Side Of Victorian Era Life
Burglary couple
Most of us believe that Victorian era was a grim and serious era, full of hardworking people, so that they didn’t even have time to enjoy their lives and having some fun.
