The Buzludha in Bulgaria was a monument to Communism, an enourmous auditorium in a futuristic building sitting atop a mountain. Photographer Timothy Allen braved a snowstorm to reach the building, now a derelict, and take these amazing photos of it. It looks like something out of a Hollywood sci-fi movie.
That's amazing. :-)

It looks like a place where people fight to the death.

Absolutely awesome, like something from a Bond movie.

Heh, I was thinking X-files, but yeah, definitely other-worldly.

Yeeeeeah, that thing wants me to make a movie*.

*I intended to write "makes me want to make a movie," but the uncaffeinated thing I actually typed feels closer to my actual response: as if the structure itself is compelling me to act.

Amazing place. Such a shame that it hasn't been maintained and appears to have been cannibalised to some extent (eg the copper roof is gone).

The first thing that struck me, though, was 'why did he visit it in Winter? Did he not expect that it would be covered in snow?'

For me the visit in the snow adds much to the charm and is a large part of the reason I posted it on metafilter.
