If you’re fascinated by modern ruins like I am, then you’ll want to pick up this month’s Canadian Geographic magazine for a piece on the community of Uranium City, Saskatchewan.

In 1982, the mine at Uranium City closed down and the community of 8000+ saw its population rapidly decline.  Today, the town is a shell of its former self.

Photojournalist Daniel Hayduk prepared the piece for the magazine and has additional coverage on his website.  It is a great read with stunning images.  There is also a companion video Daniel prepared, which is over on Youtube.
