Dark Roasted Blend gathered an awesome set of retro-futuristic images (thanks Crni Vuk & The Vault's facebook page).

While io9 gives us shades of the apocalypse with an expansive set of photos from abandoned trainyards.

Atomic aficionados will also want to take a look at the Atomic Annihilation tumblr, rich in nuclear war imagery.

If you've never checked it out, popular science has everything from 1872 - 2009 archived for free on their website. There are some real gems in there from the atomic age.
