Abandoned

There’s something so eerie and breathtaking about the places that haven’t seen a human for longer than they can remember. Sadly, in our increasingly urbanized world, there are not many corners left like this.

Although they look unsightly or scary in some ways, abandoned places tend to have a beauty unique to them that has been polished over time. To truly stop and appreciate small things means to understand what might have happened there and the reasons why the place was set aside. Mansions, cinemas, castles, theaters, pieces of incredible architecture design, and even abandoned ships in the seas are part of an endless photo series, taken by visual artist Kim Zier.

One thing that I firmly believe all human beings share is our inner yearning for adventure. We might try and satisfy this calling with good movies, awesome video games, or top-tier tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons (as a Dungeon Master of several years, I’m guilty of this). However, at the end of the day, there’s no real substitute for going out into the field with your own two feet and starting your very own adventure going into the abandoned and mysterious corners of the Earth.

This Facebook page captures the essence of the uncanny and undiscovered abandoned beauties and gives us a peek into places that aren’t generally seen by the public.
