25 Abandoned Yugoslavia Monuments that look like they're from the Future. Actually, they remind me of my dreams.

wow. They also look exactly like the kind of photos you would take, BP.

Could you imagine a time lapsed sequence over the next 100 years for any of those?

It looks like they were all built in the middle of nowhere. And they look like they should be in a film.

These are great public art. I wish they were in a city park somewhere where they could be loved. I really like almost all of them.

I especially like the monument that looks like a pair of wings. Concrete dystopias yay.

I had a Romanian friend who introduced himself with a joke. He asked me what kind of watch I had. After I told him, he said with pride, "Mine's Russian. Fastest watch in the world." This has no relation to anything.

These are beautiful and incredibly striking. In a way, the neglected state makes the images even more powerful.

I like these a lot. When I visited my sister in the republic of Georgia, there was a lot of crumbling Soviet art around that looked like this.
My favorites were the giant masculine butch woman statues showing the hardiness of the people.

This is one of the best things ever posted on MeCha. Thank you, thank you, thank you, BP.

I have goosebumps. These are tremendous. I feel like I just saw some stills from a lost Fritz Lang film.
