Photography of abandoned places is such a fascinating hobby. There’s something surreal about abandoned houses and structures – an entire past of lives lived and experiences had, and the only visible monument to them is a broken down structure that is about to disappear as well.
Some of these abandoned places bring out creativity in the viewer, and make us consider how they could be brought back. Perhaps someone will save them. But not usually. In a past life I brought back neglected and abandoned places, and maybe that’s why they’re so fascinating to me. Whatever your reasons for enjoying these abandoned places, here’s some of my recent journeys into urban exploration – enjoy!
