In this October 18, 2014 photo, the interior of concrete structures called “Quonset huts” crumbles inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Zambales province, northern Philippines. Naval Station Subic Bay used to be one of the largest U.S. military base outside the American mainland. It was partly damaged during the eruption of Mount Pinatubo forcing American troops from the more severely damaged Clark Air Base to relocate at Subic. It was closed in 1992 after the Philippine Senate voted not to extend the lease on the facility. (Photo by Aaron Favila/AP Photo)

In this October 18, 2014, photo, a row of concrete structures called “Quonset huts” lie inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Zambales province, northern Philippines. The huts were used as barracks for U.S. Marines inside the former American naval base. It was closed in 1992 after the Philippine Senate voted not to extend the lease on the facility. Some of the abandoned huts were reused as dormitories and staff houses for employees. Other abandoned huts have not been touched since U.S. forces left 22 years ago. (Photo by Aaron Favila/AP Photo)

Sinabung, among about 130 active volcanoes in Indonesia, has sporadically erupted since 2010 after being dormant for 400 years. More than 22,000 people were evacuated from the area around the 2,600-meter (8,530-foot) volcano after the eruptions earlier this year that killed at least 16 people. Most have returned home, but about 4,700 remain in evacuation centers. (Photo by Binsar Bakkara/AP Photo)




In this October 15, 2014 photo, rusted equipment sits on the floor of an abandoned coal power plant in Lynch, Ky. The community of Lynch, built as a company town in 1917 by U.S. Coal and Coke, a subsidiary of U.S. Steel, was at the time the largest coal camp in the world. It was built to house the many workers mining the coal to be used by U.S. Steel. The population peaked to around 10,000 but has since diminished to roughly 747 according to a 2010 census.

In this October 2, 2014, dusk falls on the shattered windows of the reemployment center at the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, Calif. The shipyard dates from the 1850s and was the first U.S. Navy base in the Pacific. At its peak in World War II some 50,000 worked on the island. Today about 4,000 either work, live or go to school there. A number of its buildings and facilities are still empty following the closing of the shipyard in 1996. The building is to be demolished soon. (Photo by Eric Risberg/AP Photo)

In this May 7, 2013 photo, a cross lies broken on a tomb in the abandoned town of Epecuen, Argentina. This town was once home to 1,500 residents, but they were forced to leave in 1985 when heavy rains made the nearby lake overrun its banks and submerged the town beneath almost 30 feet of water. The town was never rebuilt as the water started to recede. (Photo by Natacha Pisarenko/AP Photo)

In this October 18, 2014, photo, a man walks past the shell of a castle-like building that was once destined to be part of Asia's biggest amusement park in Beijing, China. Work halted on the project in 1998 due to financial problems and the site has been left as it is until 2013 when developers demolished other parts of the massive park for redevelopment. The castle-like building however remains untouched and a reminder of better times in that part of Beijing's periphery. (Photo by Ng Han Guan/AP Photo)
