One of the strangest cities and offshore metropolis’s in the world sits just off the coast of Azerbaijan near the city of Baku, abandoned and dilapidated. ‘Oily Rocks’ began with a single path out over the water and grew into a system of paths and platforms built on the back of ships sunken to serve as the city’s foundation […] Now, only part of it remains as many of the paths have disappeared into the surf.
