Mass Photos of Abandoned Places

Anyone who has ever stood before a crumbling structure understands how akin the forlorn places of this world are to ghosts of living things. Naturally, the effect can be quite unsettling. Now, this can be at least somewhat mitigated while still allowing viewers to breathe in glorious dereliction thanks to websites like the archives of abandoned places from the WebUrbanist. This is where you will find a pictorial history of forgotten places you never knew existed. Lunatic asylums, urban battlefields, rusting Soviet research facilities, and dead shipyards are just a few of the ghastly ghostscapes located on this website.

Oddly, these damaged echo chambers are safe from many of the urban hazards of real life, but contain all their eeriness. Urban renewal projects may banish some of these heaping specters, but photograph archives like these online will always preserve visages of these early 21st century graveyards.
