Dear friends,

Good morning.

10 Unique graveyards.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Aircraft Boneyard , USA
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93h4V0ntipdM98RpWcdX1rhdJVG4hj0iqmAFOetMOHgNhBGAzJMrBsstYhzKLmxUT1hhQJrd1xEBPvMfPVLz8aMwvxr4iDVedInfy8Ye_nKter-DMxKGAPSdOBqExKyAIhneS_HlifpRY/s1600/cimitero-aerei-arizona-02.jpg
 
The 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), 
often called The Boneyard is located near Davis Monthan Air Force Base 
in Tucson , Arizona . For those of you that have never seen it, it's difficult
 to comprehend the size of it.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuozaB8nvdWcGlvGMM0d9YLQ8qdniHq7Li5fD5A50Bs5ewi60HOQYWRJ7bmRPVMQAqODv7xjQK3A0TbLwmBcjqOqcWKqdZpy_OzZAodu45CbvBa-UQMrLEMFBnvWwTho7xYESmyQWUbtH-/s1600/170239.jpg
 
 
The number of aircraft stored there and the precision in the way they are 
parked is impressive. Another important fact is that they are all capable of 
being returned to service if the need ever arises.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2_QRBCBN2VO44dO6C1pnr38Kq2gTXZGNYOWk4SaPT42QaBB6m4izkcFmFSGpjIBepizCHnTEYFwOTKUeqPD6sRdJy0MIuvs7Zni7pKEM1EUQ5G7XKAGhMm804kP8ubjgYUe8rQt3A1AKj/s1600/2868539375_650d64542c_b.jpg
 
AMARG is a controlled-access site, and is off-limits to anyone not employed 
there without the proper clearance. The only access for non-cleared individuals 
is via a bus tour which is conducted by the nearby Pima Air & Space Museum .
 Bus tours are Monday through Friday only. Both the museum and the Bone Yard
 are very popular attractions in the Arizona desert.
 
2. Ship Graveyard , Mauritania
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb_DTM-hpLU7DsJCDM1aVIUu6VDMXNxcIyc-tJyWoXrNX12w6wS5MFO1MWMHs-hqwcGZgjdjQHaNFPcdVBC34dTD5mRj4ar7wEO0z2Hhd_W7Sz9T77PvXVU6qR-94DP9hNndqQijOdCNd0/s1600/Nouadhibou-shipwreck4+(2).jpg
 
The city of Nouadhibouis the second largest city in Mauritania and serves as the 
country's Commercial center. It is famous for being the location of one of the largest
 ship graveyard in the world. Hundreds of rusting ships can be seen all around,
 in the water and on beaches.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgk7S8387j2w8IJhmqcTNvCQ3AbFJ-0GKxEMO8vRhODkYY5OYsibNicehNejUSSIN6k-pl-vaWyMUguSRIJaZe5BbvZM_yWB6yd_XUadr2LDpWx-VAo_Qh4Ngd_UGYNqYxp1wObLk4jZKP/s1600/Ships_graveyard,_Nouadhibou,_Mauritania-2.jpg
 
One of the most commonly read explanation for that situation is that 
Mauritanian harbour officers were taking bribes and allowing ships to be 
discarded in the harbour and around the bay. This phenomenon started 
in the 80's after the nationalization of the Mauritanian fishing industry,
numerous uneconomical ships were simply abandoned there.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7-I8Ao8StBx-fYdcSIqRaPktRX21vX7gnGHg9n60y_OA0O-_HLjEdKhXI1ml_3e585JjXUyQuAs3Wsivk0-MyGLSz7MDUD79-8JHbY6LnmDv0RLBF4ET39EZQ9VqsMrIpDZ4o3EOfObsa/s1600/Nouadhibou+5.jpg
 
The city of Nouadhibou is one of the poorest locations in the world. Right over
 these phantom beaches there are people living inside the huge merchant boats.

3. Train Cemetery , Bolivia
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirH_yJfR4NGJ6pmkhB2KhPOT_fO2CFtuQFizeB7BR0R6Y1kBSu3DpZDnIX_MFyA-m5ezmHEqP0B04fEbJIry73mcVabQltV0qN29DoFiwhfrUamiXD5H0pLwUAivL70l0NT9OnYhovBryH/s1600/train_graveyard1.jpg
 
One of the major tourist attractions of south western Bolivia is an antique train 
cemetery. It is located 3 km (1.9 MI) outside Uyuni and is connected to it by the
 old train tracks. The town served in the past as a distribution hub for the trains carrying
 minerals on their way to the Pacific Ocean ports.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ2DDbx3PBQ29K7wuFdY_gEUWUJPXQoYSiznmW17WohyL7mnOTtK1nw33d1nbSL3mJAkQ4eCZObWfqKpBqiC0xLx3laaUtJILZ2WZSFwTA3psJITfwRaJuwTXUazo6SZoA8yiuecM6CwTz/s1600/363179404_74e13a0235_b.jpg
 
The train lines were built by British engineers who arrived near the end of the 19th 
century and formed a sizeable community in Uyuni. The rail construction started in
 1888 and ended in 1892.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirbdWjCe9dUwvzjTASzE2StaEDdnEdGTycMqJxSGztgf7zeZ1be4ZCpDqcvxyXtWsgtTRtDLfv6vXy5iiZh-Eq2Vcanbsihpk7CizYKeKdUV6DO6th695ZFrpmMMO28bKUr_PdTXUVLSx5/s1600/2189434782_a3988f1f7b_o.jpg
 
The trains were mostly used by the mining companies. In the 1940s, the mining
 industry collapsed, partly due to the mineral depletion. Many trains were abandoned
 thereby producing the train cemetery. There are talks to build 
a museum out of the cemetery.

4. Vozdvizhenka Aircraft Graveyard , Russia
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7_156Aig8Xeah-IiqhRpm5xgI8tpQxyGd36U0B-792cVO5C9T90r9-CEaavhfcDZML_Q3osqJuR1ZcTFhom1M8IqIPydGYjOkpA7mM5Ge382ZNyMNIrYSY2kYybZGIzW1mozEvYUlwXHx/s1600/airplane678-16.jpg
 
Littered with at least 18 gutted Tupolev Tu-22M Backfires of the 444th Heavy 
Bomber Regiment, Vozdvizhenka air base resembles a post-apocalyptic landscape.
 Entering this barren place, located near Ussuriysk in the Primorsky Krai region
 of Far East Russia, 60 miles (95 km) north of Vladivostok and 40 miles (65 km)
from the Chinese border, is like taking a step back in time.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj20FUmqBONB3XSvVKcutcPhoC8iWSwTPecYLjVhVVMnzJ7KPEfAjfO_sV6zspaiwbm1PdGyT1WoW9W-uhvqWCIpL9RI02rvpqFfrsYoukW2ql8ufK1uvhybAVz-Dkg3dtBM5yrXbN7iBxV/s1600/5831284970_4a5dffe33e_b.jpg
 
The 444th Regiment was disbanded in 2009, with some aircraft transferred to the 
Belaya Air Base and others dismantled 
(removed engines, equipment, and with holes cut in the fuselage).
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjLpkFjZcxLz20R-mxf3KQgSyhZ1Vrz2nq1nmZN6tQMVJlRlGIeCGrvc4asvVom7HjiLkeuFP2tXQ72tF5sxl2pdLE99SESQVoOUXKlHXPgwYuS3ViNoX1_veO60I79AnIb7Ol_vhtaU5u/s1600/airplane678-8.jpg
 
The aircraft carcasses are awaiting final metal cutting. Currently based at the 
airfield is the aviation commandant of Khurba airbase and the 322 Aircraft Repair Factory.

5. Anchor Graveyard , Portugal
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikuhazuB8Kwk_0Mogmh4MOc-S85AjuHN4h0jBljpo6BepPdR0LIUaQzlNiGpHi59QVnPa_bPjAMAlT1rkjVjRVpH2BJ6mbX6Zz7lXC0SRviC9qdYgVs_Id9gW-90iJCCcU_-lQUY-S00Up/s1600/3514228920_51f1914658_z+(1).jpg
 
Among the dunes of  Tavira island, in Portugal , there's an impressive anchor graveyard
 called the Cemitério das Âncoras. It was built in remembrance of the glorious
 tradition of tuna fishing with large nets fixed with these anchors, a fishing 
technique already invented by the Phoenicians.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh56Rbcno_dFeHJTThhgRljMHuWlg01ZWbGHS-E_QyqUKu2YSPrlbO5Aqmn7WaW8ga_FRQfDEjr8A59c1n-bWbPsXiO4bzUVN3jFezYNrmPSZvgPAAfzCEU98AgkBeQDvsgor2G81BBf4UM/s1600/6002526413_360e943099_b.jpg
 
Tavira used to be a place devoted to the tuna fishing. They built up this anchor 
graveyard to remember those who had to quit their occupation when the big
 fish abandoned the coasts.

6. Soviet Tank Graveyard , Afghanistan
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_brpXcDchyc4EImMliyTjNHrJTHmkLx2T9afB-HN942w4mvoplmcM_StEqT3AKC4OvQyqPz3yDf53lGixPM67JEsit7CPEn12shh6o5C-jPFS135cRzPkMzscvyxZE7VMP4BNqAs338Vy/s1600/13_mm.jpg
 
On the outskirts of Kabul , Afghanistan there's a massive collection of abandoned
 Soviet battle Vehicles left behind after the failure of a massive eastern bloc 
military occupation of the country in the 1970's and 1980's.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF65iRHTUWCqVJWM_8A4mOqdBBasPt1YYY0ir4YHc3SH1Jru_jv2rSEYdUl4k1B0w7x-SJdoKOwVxnY2PCARsMzFEFQ-_c-zqnuxyfxYqsOSK-OqDZ4rjND1AppkVsM216DGZRWoTrt83X/s1600/2274262912_6d32a4b3fa_b.jpg
 
The Soviets left in a hurry and could not be bothered to find a way to get broken-down 
tanks back home, so now they sit, partially stripped and covered in graffiti.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHxHFz-kfzactKEVl-0eIRbtCxMmDPOSjahU8sWEJPk2NS4M7_PjA_UdE3LQelVcwETG43zeC73Esk9HIsSbxCWd5gItmm4PFa8HK_HbDlvqVwJ73kMyuR7mtOKrkUBKef7isxWId9FQE7/s1600/abandoned-soviet-tank.jpg
 
Afghanistan has few recycling facilities, so this cemetery of tanks will likely remain 
where it is for many more years as a reminder of the Russian invasion.
(Gives one cause to wonder where the American tank graveyard will be!)

7. Submarine Graveyard , Russia
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsIvMWInaqeI1X_AqjsnYKtrhsPk3ERNXrf6XLMdu9YOwqFsOhFzPZaovLB90dC2UF7XbnNG5-CLHpFTtoheG13DjFq4_yHLJKB_4GM_AiwEPsFWP-WobQC-4-BQ5koZc3ebbanAwsUs4o/s1600/4.jpg
 
The area around Nezametnaya Cove, close to the town of Gadzhiyevo , in Murmansk
 Oblast on the Kola Peninsula , is a cemetery where is located a lot of old Russian 
submarines. After serving their duty underwater, the submarines were brought to this
 restricted-access zone in the 1970s, and then forgotten.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0wN1dwlgOIY2vIagSbX0ol20nKpjctSH6MW8v59BnvWgAsUu59YdVmd5-19QVFPhaMLVhLKqhB3QJbAa5DRAj57OfRM8k0lY8SJVMu_zR2koKSlp0AX8qZBi8CjkhkyXuUNKaiirgvWD/s1600/8.jpg
 
Locals said that some of the old submarines were used for target practice in military 
exercises and often sunk, an employment of the old "out of sight, out of mind" strategy.
 Others were simply left in
the bay to rust and rot, floating to the surface like so many whale carcasses.

8. Moynaq Ship Graveyard , Uzbekistan
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYZznwZUYroY2wRaIRg9oFM_QjRjJrr59vx5ejc1bSG2wdFthAsCAqVKerlUnBPLbWducwf-Ozcwv1mQHJKNEvbuWsyQtR8-SOQQf6i_dbB_jYrUZxkl739k4EbBJt88luE0muZuaXUEM/s1600/3889985362_1261fde307_o+(1).jpg
 
Moynaq is a city in northern Karakalpakstan in western Uzbekistan . Home to only 
a few thousand residents at most, Moynoq's population has been declining precipitously
 since the 1980s due to the receding of the Aral Sea .
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz6q5n4Imj9HIVp_N66MjiN15A41K9R3WzF8W1Y1lRew_QrsTl3D4a7t0dOuhRiAKh2eE3hGxP9y-JZ1-gpyj13nt6_pO2Rbg8YKS-72eCcuOMPlUzj272PRURxZWIX9byDD0eSiO80Uls/s1600/5086114491_30d0906e5e_b.jpg
 
Once a bustling fishing community and Uzbekistan 's only port city with tens of 
thousands of residents, Moynoq is now a shadow of its former self, dozens of kilometers
 from the rapidly receding shoreline of the Aral Sea .
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLiPABQ26YViYHowRMrYEb_68FakvYOth-AAYLlGcWc6ixv92qNCu0JzcwFBQGtSvpK7VhJfwYQv-9RJ3-SbXE-a7_nMDmLftThmGKhfe2FORkFfvXProYpbMwzenX_m5kpD1qLzzhjhWu/s1600/150271030_c3e686a343_o.jpg
 
For travellers the main reason to visit Moynaq is to see the ship graveyard, a collection of 
rusting hulks that were once the town's fishing fleet. It's an image that perfectly illustrates
the disaster - once proud vessels beached in a sandy desert.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNVSoojXePBkGiBl4m6C5JYcK_ZEtV2g4pbYdqQuoobpZuwkuMEz9vrY46AM87f1J3RAxky4IzvuxbsXmLGkdf2vE5IqNAtMd7hBS-8I4pB3kDzrnYj3MRVaN8d4i_u5d6LhBe6PW_Y4hb/s1600/11046119.jpg
 
Unfortunately there aren't many left, as scrap metal companies made short work of
 them before the tourism authorities forbade it. In one final kick for a local population 
already "downed", the money didn't go  to the people who owned the boats; it was 
divided up between the scrap companies and government officials.
 
9. Taxi Graveyard , China
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYStITeVD-G4noWD2JccYZ82a9Kz0ZvHydDaZx10XRR4z52SVhGAGdb7QI_T85n22idpRzGdZQomrXM3vOcHqKpVKqa-M7-dQY7or5tKS5pLvCwduwSXiaW2Fla14pmDR0s6g55beZqFFF/s1600/310645_70438.jpg
 
 
Thousands of scrapped taxis are abandoned in a yard in the center of 
Chongqing , China . Traffic congestion and pollution have worsened dramatically
 in Chinese cities because the country's long-running economic expansion has
 allowed increasing numbers of consumers to make big-ticket purchases such as cars,
 which means many no longer have to rely on taxis or public transportation.
 
 

10. Phone Booth Graveyard , UK
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZQGtnmwNyDQnahVSpVfqBu3FepwQXiw5Xk2uiSQZ93JRrydfzZAblyGWBhwxXjr-5qqBvDBNKKm2jaFREjgjuHzz5HA_tcCQdEz8f1u3rpKiTB2BqwQ2JfzeGsVBqKLOCeebODFE1gTma/s1600/DSCN7140.jpg
 
This phone booth graveyard is located between Ripon and Thirsk, near the village of 
Carlton Miniott, UK. There are located hundreds of disused telephone booths.
 
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw6yS0Rg49nHCJ8mv7mqvX5ujhrgJMpCdXmI5NJKXJafqdGdImOOE9tUtjHdIYnMJ5SVBXAJdSTI2t1EuMK4i4G2zN8eowfz9fbWrzdWfGRIit9YIwX1k-mWtiMRyW091VQIPGh81ITVwi/s1600/DSCN7146.jpg
 
Decommissioned old red booths are systematically replaced by new modern booths, and
 deposited in one site near this English village.
