Over this past weekend I took a trip to Centralia, PA. It is located about two hours north of Philadelphia, but I thought it could be relevant to this blog since it's a unique natural landscape within driving distance of the city. Centralia was once a thriving borough until an underground coal mine fire began burning in 1962. Now there are virtually no residents and the few buildings left standing are condemned. I took this photo of smoke and steam emerging from a seam in the earth; the ground here was very hot.
It's like a pulsing wound...
