Geamana, Romania

Geamana is an abandoned village in Romania. Geamana really looks like an amazing place, but it's a very sad story, which, when the valley was of contaminated water from a copper open pit ( Roşia Poieni ). The cyanide-based mining residue flooded the valley and the village, which has become today a deserted village with a stinking reddish lake. Although the colors are beautiful, the stench near the lake, it is intolerable, and the ecosystem it is completely destroyed. Unfortunately, nearby is a second project on the (2014) to start a gold mine (cyanide mining as well). Geamana largest surreal sight is likely that the flooded & amp; amp; partially submerged church in the poisonous red sea, seen in the photos below
