As we continue to expand, build and grow as a race, it’s only natural that remnants of our past remain in the outskirts, reminding us of where we came from. Nowadays it seems there is an increasing amount of these abandoned structures.
At the rate we are going, soon these buildings might not exist at all, but be torn down in order for some skyscraper to be erected. there’s a beauty in these abandoned structures that cannot be tarnished, no matter how neglected the place is.
Enjoy this cluster and perhaps the next time you pass a run-down building, you’ll appreciate it, knowing that it may not be seen again.
