Remains of a former Japanese colonial industrial facility for extracting bromine from seawater, part of the war effort. It was one of several chemical production plants under the Southern Japan Chemical Industrial Co. Ltd. (南日本化學工業株式會社), established in 1939. The rest of this plant was demolished long ago but the towers were too large and dangerous, so they were left relatively intact.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
