    A "secret" mental asylum, near San Antonio, TX. It might've been an unofficial extension of another much larger asylum a few miles away (I'll post a few photos of that one).

    Rumor says: This facility was vacated quickly, was protected by armed guards when vacant, and might been involved in experimental treatments and punishments.

    I'm going to cheat, sort of. The Rice Hotel in Houston, N/K/A The Pace Rice Lofts, under went several changes over the decades. I'll try to post the photos in chronological order, but make no guarantees.

    The weird part is it sat empty for 21 years, and I haven't found any detailed photos of the abandoned Rice Hotel. I worked in an office building, then Texas Commerce Tower, just across the street, and we could look down at the dilapidated roof (saw large pieces get torn off during a nasty wind storm). Also the darkness provided by the overhang at street level made it a great place for transients to urinate without being seen; the metal parts in the doorways reeked and were corroded.

    Of course back then taking photos never entered my mind.

    Who cares, really?
    Has to be artistic license; those structures are still standing today. Besides, the reflections in the water don't match what's happening above, so it's a clever Photoshop. :)

    But Disney World does have an abandoned section to it, a water park called River Country that was closed in 2001.

    Pics can be seen here:

    I was actually at River Country back in 1979. Odd that Disney would let this land go to seed.

    Some of the small houses were not demolished after the fort closed, but probably have been by hurricanes, or for the valuable land they occupied.

    Deserted Places: The abandoned mill in Sorrento, Italy

    In the town of Sorrento near Naples, southern Italy, there's a deep canyon, also known as 'The valley of the mills'. There, between thick vegetation there's the old mill, functioning since the beginning of the 900's and used to produce flour. The mill was abandoned around 1866 when the creation of Tasso square isolated the mill from the sea, provoking a rise in the humidity, which soon forced the mills abandonment. Today the mill is among the tourists attractions of Sorrento.
