Dear reader - Steem has been renamed to Hive since May 2020. My content therefore has moved with me to Hive, and I hope to see you there: peakd.com/@soyrosa.

I just can't imagine that a smaller country like Belgium has an abandoned town like this. Love the shot ... I'm such a sucker for abandoned places like this. I also heard about that hospital in the wood in Belgium ... do you happen to know if it's still up or did they take it down last yet?

Indeed, that's weird, right?! In the Netherlands this would not be an option, we are very 'happy' when we find a little square of space... But in Belgium actually more abandoned places still exist and they are not cleaned up without a reason.

I have been drooling over photos of Belgium abandonments for as long as I have been into urbex. That country is world renowned in urbex circles! A "Belgium urbex" google image search says it all.

Heya, just swinging by to let you know you're being featured in our Daily Travel Digest!

Yesss that's awesome! Thank you @steemitworldmap! :-)

Okay, some of those photos are downright creepy (to me), but I love the art on the side of the buildings. The flower of life picture next to the whale is really nice, and the crow/raven is intriguing!

Sorry my photography creeped you out! ;-) The art was amazing indeed! The crow is my facorite because of the black-white lined style :-)

We agree with you. That grow is awesome.

I always love to see ghost city photos. I like the one about Chernobyl It's haunting and very touching. Great work!!

Yes, Chernobyl is the 'best' (and saddest) example of a ghost city! I might go there someday, will have to check if it's reasonably health to go :-)

Urban photography at its best!
If you like you can stop by my post, which are also photography and tell me what you think ... Greetings from Paraguay! :')

Thank you! :-)

I love the one with the crow/raven. Lots going on. That's an interesting spot to watch porn.... errrrg

Haha, yes, it is an interesting spot for that! After the abandonement even more :-)

The artist that painted the bird is an amazing artist, why can't all graffities be that artistic? If someone could do a graffiti like that i would let him griffiti my house without a doubt

It would be great if more graffities become 'art'! In my city the best known graffity groups are hired to create pieces when a part of the city is being rebuild for example! (To hide the ugglyness of the building place)if

I love exploring abandoned spaces. It's fun that an artist culture has grown around this area. Your images are beautiful. Great read.

Thanks for that! Yes, artists are great at spotting interesting places to 'create'... I'm afraid it will not stay up though, I've heard basically all the houses have now been closed and protected with wooden planks and such.

Those photos stoked me out! You should look up and read about what Chernobyl is becoming!

Yes, I might do that indeed!

I think it is a cool idea and read!
