ABANDONED

Abandoned

What would the world look like if humans suddenly ceased to exist? Hotels, factories, schools, hospitals, churches and power plants, the very infrastructure we came to rely on. All left behind, all abandoned. Nothing lasts forever. These haunting images are a clear representation of that simple truth. I am not here to argue about the reasons why these places were abandoned, I am just here to show that sometimes in the process of building a brighter future we leave behind something important, something that cannot ever be replaced or replicated.
