Abandoned Places by Pablo Maurer
When I ran across this fabulous set of GIFs, I captured all 19 of them. I'm posting only the first eight because any more might be overkill. If you'd like to read the captions that go with these, and to see the rest of them, click on the source...

I bet many people get teary eyes when seeing vacant buildings or sites that they used to frequent, and I'm one of those teary eyed ones.
There was once a thriving business in my town, that I worked for 20 years, when I go by it now it's just all decaying and surrounded by uncut grass.
#4) Oh yeah, I was in a ten-pin blowing league with that company, and that bowling establishment is long gone too.
I don't wallow in the past, but I do go back in my mind quite often thinking of the many good times.
Thanks Rick.
This emptyness gives me the creeps, like the haunted Hotel in "The Shining"...knowing that all these people are also dead doesn't help either...

Very impressive to see how nature would retake its place in some of them.
Anon@6:41am - Yes it is.
Scott - You are very welcome.
Perv - You're right.
JiEL - Nature will take it all back when we're gone.
Great---Always love before and after pictures. The way it is done in your post is fabulous. Technology!!
Thanks, Rick. These were fascinating and sad.
Why don't they demolish these buildings rather than let them decay. If people are going in these buildings, what if the floor collapses or something and someone gets hurt or dies?!!
I like that concentric thing - #6 - better now that nature has reclaimed it than in its original state.
Thanks, Rick! Fascinating!
VRCooper - Thanks. I can only take credit for passing this along.
Taurus9311 - You are welcome. Yes, very sad.
Luv - I agree that they should be torn down. Someone could get hurt.
Jimbo - Yet, I wonder what was inside.
Brilliant!
There was a series a few years back called "After Man" (I believe). The gist of the shows were that if humanity disappeared en masse from the planet, there would be no trace of our presence within 500 years - much less in most instances.
Mark - I remember that series.
very interesting
