The places time forgot From the magical empty theatres of Detroit to the lost playgrounds of Chernobyl there are places across the globe that were once a hub of activity but are now abandoned & in decay With nature creeping in & reclaiming these spots we are left with eerie crumbling ruins & breathtaking views that offer us a window into the past & capture our imagination Abandoned showcases the very best photographs from around the world documenting this phenomenon More immersive than a museum & more human that a lecture abandoned photography has given the world an exciting way to look at our history & the places we have long neglected Compiled & curated by photographer & former urban explorer Mathew Growcoot
