If you don't live in a big city in Poland, you can observe many stars at night. Did you ever wonder how would look our sky in the next millions of years if we would count only on existing proven astrophysical theories and calculations? It would be absolutely empty. All celestial bodies in the galaxy are rotating around the biggest black hole in the middle of galaxy (in Milky Way this black hole is 6.4 billion times heavier than our sun) with such speed that the gravity generated by galaxy’s observable matter could not possibly hold them together. This leads us to conviction that something we cannot see is at work and is giving galaxies extra mass, generating the extra gravity that galaxies need to stay intact. Something, that will ensure us that our sky will remain the same as it was a million years ago. The official name of this strange and unknown matter is the “dark matter”. Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electroma...

If someone is entering to other house without permission it is a crime. If you posses such building would you like to someone go there? I don't think so, but from the other side if such person only takes pictures and don't violate that place it would be unfair to put him/her in the jail.
I haven't had a chance to enter an abandoned building, but once I enter to the building which were under constuction when I was 10 and little to curious. It was church so views from unsecured place where the organ stands were unforgettable :)
It can be a bit controversial at times, since these places are usually private property, but then again if you don't mean any harm, than I can't see any reason why not visit an old, ruined building. I mean, It is already in bad conditions and is not used anymore, so not much harm a photographer or "visitor" can do. Especially when I don't see any fence and/or sign explicitly saying that entrance isn't allowed I don't feel any guilt in doing so.
As a side note, under this link we can find many interesting places to see: http://www.opuszczone.com/index_2.php?s=galerie
I’m a really big fan of World War II history and I like to visit some bunkers hidden in the woods or some others hardly accessible places. Sometimes I just an astonished of how vast these structures ma by, especially when you look at these things that are above the ground. I think that there is a great touristic potential in these places and I just feel sad when I watch those places go to ruins because there is nobody to take care of them.
The idea of going to Chernobyl crossed my mind a couple of times and I’m peaty confident that I will eventually go there. I would really to see the entire city slowly consumed by nature. That will be a sight to remember for lifetime and will give me a good image how the world will look like when we will be long gone. I’ve heard that nowadays its peaty hard to go there, but I’m sure that all of this will change in time. And in 10-20 years from now the sight will be even more breathtaking.
If I had an opportunity, I'd like to explore Seattle underground city, where you can find the old Seattle, before the Great Seattle Fire in 1889.
P.S. I'm Armand S. ;)
