CHILE: Streetart Angol – Canteras de Deuco – Lost Place Graffiti at the old Quarry

In 1884, this site just 8 km from Angol, was chosen to extract hard rock to build the railway lines that would pass through the city. At its peak, up to 90 workers and their families lived there. The operations and blasting of the rock continued until 1970, when rock extraction from the quarries ceased due to the closure of the railway to Angol. Today the abandoned buildings and warehouses are now covered with graffiti and streetart. But besides from the urban creations, it’s generally a fantastic lost place to explore.

BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA: Former Olympic Bobsleigh Track Trebević – Lost Place Graffiti

The former Trebević Olympic bobsleigh slope near Sarajevo was an artificial ice track on Mount Trebević, where the competitions for the 1984 Winter Olympics were held. During the war in 1991 parts of the slope were badly damaged and restoration would have been too expensive, so the sports facility has lain fallow ever since and is no longer used by athletes, but all the more by spray can artists. The entire track is painted with graffiti and characters from the summit to the valley! A fantastic and picturesque lost place in the middle of the mountain landscape.
