Coober Pedy Underground Desert Cave
Coober Pedy is a town located in South Australia which houses a unique way of life. This town is the premiere destination for tourists looking to mine opal, and also the home of quite a few families. You may be thinking that living underground like this makes no sense, but the harsh summer temperatures in the deserts of South Australia can often times be too much. These underground caves sustain a consistent cool temperature, making it the perfect place to live in a not-so-perfect town.
The Underground Moscow
Right beneath the Moscow downtown with its extra-costly realty lies ex-KGB dungeons. They are still full functioning and access is not so easy and still nobody knows the exact location and plan of those underground man-made caverns of Moscow but some parts of them now open for the Public.
Jam Abelanets NSFW-Fotos von S-Bahn-surfenden Mädchen
Zugegeben: von den Nackedeis in Jam Abelanets Buch „Fantaisies Souterraines – Underground Fantasies“ surft nur diese eine U-Bahn, die restlichen Fotos von nackten Mädchen in vollgesprühten U-Bahnhöfen sind aber ebenfalls sehr, sehr surreal.

Exploring the Forbidden Underground: Tailrace of the Toronto Power Company Hydroelectric Plant
Imagine a tunnel more than ten storeys underground, a hundred years old, bricklined, wet, and completely inaccessible save by descending through a narrow slit in its ceiling thirty feet above the floor, and then returning up the same rope you came down.
Now imagine that this tunnel flows into Niagara Falls, emerging behind the pummeling curtain of water that nearly everyone in North America journeys to see at some point in their lives.
This tunnel exists.
The Subterranean Farms of Tokyo
While we’re on the subject of things agricultural and of things covered by just about everyone long before today, there is Pasona O2, a subterranean farm cultivated inside a former bank vault beneath a high rise building in one of Tokyo’s business districts.
World’s Greatest Underground Fortifications Guard France (Feb, 1934)
INVISIBLE and sunk beneath the rolling and wooded terrain in Lorraine is a great underground fortification system, 200 miles long, guarding France’s vital industrial area.
The forts, which cost 150 million dollars, are the greatest in the world and defy attack by gas, infantry, artillery, or air bombs. Living quarters, magazines, power stations, and control stations are out of reach of all means of attack. Bulkheads in the underground passages shut out both gas and invaders and armored posts at various points bring additional protection.
Crystal
Als Denver noch im Fernsehen lief und diese Crystal die weißen Stufen der Carrington-Hütte herunter stackste, klebte ich mit meiner Nase an der Scheibe einer Vitrine. Die gehörte meiner Mutter und darin bewahrte sie ihre Steinsammlung auf. Aufgeschnitte Steine, die innen glitzerten und in den buntesten Farben strahlten. Jeez, war ich beeindruckt. Und bis heute ist es so: wenn mir mal nichts einfällt, was ich Mutti zum Geburtstag schenken könnte – man muss wissen, trotz meines kreativen Berufes bin ich, was Geschenke angeht, äußerst unkreativ -, dann greif ich einfach zu einem Kristallstein und sie freut sich. Da nehme ich sogar in Kauf, dafür einen Esoterik-Laden betreten zu müssen, in dem sich kopftuchbehangene Damen sich ätherische komische Öle aufs Handgelenk reiben.
Und jetzt das: fucking giant Riesenkristalle from outer space aus Mexiko. Ich brech ab und muss dafür nichtmal in einen Esoterik-Laden. Yeah!
