Any frequent readers of this site will no doubt realize that I'm slightly obsessed with strange places. If my
Top Ten Coolest Places on Earth article, my piece on
Urban Exploration, or any of the
From the Air challenges are any indication, there's a wealth of fantastically amazing places out there. And, up until now, I had no idea where to look to discover these places. Luckily, the folks at
BoingBoing have Joshua Foer as a guest blogger for the week. Joshua is a freelance science journalist and the co-founder of the
Atlas Obscura: A Compendium of the World's Wonders, Curiosities, and Esoterica. An amazing wiki-like site that lists all the amazing places (both well known and hidden) around the world. From the amazing
boulder fields in eastern Pennsylvania to the
catacombs beneath Paris. This is a site one could spend months looking at. Consider me hooked.
I may have found my new favorite website.
Echowood you are certainly contributing to my habit of reading and doing research about weird things and places. I really enjoy reading about odd things keep up the good work.
Thanks Nihil. I'll try to keep them coming.
