Coober Pedy is a small Australian town with population of about 2,000 people. It is well-known as an underground town.

These are some beautiful images of Tokyo underground. Most cities have another world underground but none as so breathtaking as this. It looks like another dimension.

This spectacular dome with an underground tunnel is no longer in use, even though it sits on a privately owner estate. Built in 1890, the underground space was used as a ballroom and billiard or smoking room.

Tokyo underground system is a day-by-day insanity. Local residents and guests are often pressed against windows and other people. Pictures from the series “Tokyo Compression” by Michael Wolf perfectly document the real daily Tokyo subway atmosphere. I wouldn’t enjoy starting my day like this.

Pionen is an underground data center that belongs to the biggest Swedish internet service provider Bahnhof. It is located 30 meters under the granite rocks. It was built in a former bomb shelter, thus it can withstand a direct attack with a hydrogen bomb. Two Maybach MTU diesel engines from a submarine are responsible for backup power supply. Together they produce 1.5 megawatts of power. The entrance doors are 40 cm thick. The place is surrounded with the granite and it just mesmerizes with its beauty.

When you are in the subway, you can either read a book or ads or stare at amazing art. Personally I would choose the last option. Sadly, the subway in my city doesn’t have anything like what you will see inside this post.

Let’s take a close look at the New York City subway and its riders’ life underground.
