[Photos] The hidden beauty of abandoned places

Some may see it as just a bunch of bricks falling apart, crappy dirty places or unpleasant disorder... but personally I often find a hidden beauty in abandoned, ruined places. They tell stories, they look terrible and pleasant at the same time and the feeling of exploration of some of them is worth getting your shoes dirty.

I would like to present you some photographs of mine from few of those:

Collapsed building in small town of Bożków, Poland. Note the old telephone hanging from the rusty heater.

Unused small stone shelter in the misty mountains. Czech Republic. Location.

A pile of garbage in old boiler in Wrocław, Poland. Note the old newspaper.

The same building.

I needed to be quick in here. This old house had some of the walls already collapsed and looked like it can collapse further anytime. It's near small town Łęknica, Poland close to border with Germany. Location.

Abandoned warehouse near Giżycko, Poland. Wooden roof seemed to be still in quite good condition.

Abandoned old chapel in the forest near Giżycko, Poland.

Abandoned massive concrete granary in down town of Wrocław, Poland. Location.

So what do you think? Would you visit one of those places with your own camera? Do you find it interesting? Leave a comment. :)
