You want to see desolation?
Take a look at Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea.

I was reading an article about a monster-huge hotel that they're allegedly resuming construction on there, few engineers believe that it can be safely completed. So I brought up Pyongyang on Google Maps and was amazed at what it looks like. The thing that immediately came to mind was post-holocaust. It's kind of weird, or at least was for me, to see so many structures and no vehicles.
