This is one of my favorite because the skyscraper, though beautiful is competely vacant and has been for decades. I hear they are restoring it though. Same building, different shot. When I was admiring the building I realized that someone made the effort to get to the top floor and graffiti'd the crown. I was impressed. This is what happens when a car factory shuts down in the rust belt. Jenny Leigh 14 years ago. Glenn Fox Posted 14 years ago.
Edited by Glenn Fox member 14 years ago. This is a series of pictures I took of the old West Pier in Hove, the pier had fallen into disrepair, and during a drive to restore it, caught fire.
More of it fell into the sea in subseqent storms. It's present condition has mystery and sadness to it, which I hope my pictures capture.
Hope you like Glenn. The Temples of Angkor. This Khmer city had 1 million inhabitants around A. All wooden buildings are long gone. The rainforest conquered the remaining stone buildings thus slowing their decay. The 'discovery' by western archeologists and subsequent clearing of the temples of their plant cover put them to the elements and accelerated their disintegration. One temple was left as it was found, with all the trees growing through the site, supporting many walls and buildings.
See these images of Ta Prohm in the large version, there is much going on in the images that is lost in the thumbnail, small and medium versions! Joost formerly habeebee 14 years ago. Wondering what THE three favourites are would be torturous for someone as anal as me, but here's three OF my favourites :-D: Everything just came together.. Because it's cute and existential at the same time ;- Because it's this decaying building at its most sensational -- though the scan quality is bad, apologies for which.
Prayer al fresco! Old train depot. Nothern wall of Mould Loft in Versatile Shipyards. I love this one because of the instructions on the alarm. Pull way down and let go. Such wisdom and beauty in degeneration. This was the oldest building on the same shipyard in The wood was absolutely gorgeous to behold. Long gone again. I took this shot from the stairs at floor level. The building was built late 's. I love old wood. Again, in the Versatile Shipyards, which have now made room for condos and a hotel.
I really discovered the beauty to be found in ruins and decay. Trent Rouillon Photography 14 years ago. My friend reckons this photo is smashing! The natural taking over the man made! An old abandoned bridge near downtown Atlanta.
Probably one of the coolest things in the city. Not much to say on this one, I just like it. Cool old bank building. Meanor Posted 14 years ago. Edited by Ms D. Meanor member 14 years ago. Homeless addict in Vancouver's downtown East side. I think that this portrays the juxtaposition between the 'well' and the 'not so well to do' in the city of Vancouver, which is fast losing it's middle class Alley in the Downtown East side of 'Vancouver the beautiful'.
I love the way that this shot turned out! It looks exactly the way I wanted it to when I took the shot. Simply put, 'Vancouver ghetto'. Tenement in the Downtown East side Vancouver BC I like this one because the fence is such a thin and flimsy barrier between me and this life It's FAR too expensive for most people to live here comfortably any more.
Lonely old tv set in an abandoned and partially demolished motel in Hollywood: Close up of a beautiful old glass door knob on a well-weathered wood-frame door in Burbank: Evidence of time on a dumpster loading dock in a back alley of Hollywood:. Sanctu 14 years ago. I found this in a back alley in Sorrento near Naples, Italy but had no idea how it got there.
It didn't seem reconstructed, so it must have been boarded up from the other side?? I would have loved to get closer but it's smack dab in the middle of a small downtown area and next to the courthouse. I love the simple geometric shapes in this image. Same downtown area as the first image.
Again, the simple shapes please me. Again, I am drawn to the simple shapes. I also love the color of the building. By the way, this building is for sale and I wish I could buy it! Three floors and over 10, square feet!
Quiet Storm! M-u-z Posted 14 years ago. Edited by M-u-z member 14 years ago. French Quarter shops, Hanoi, Vietnam. Urban decay of Hanoi's French Quarter, Vietnam. Window found in the French Quarter of Hanoi, Vietnam. This Is The Sea 14 years ago. Not sure what to do but heaps of the Ubran Decay pictures have their thumbnail links disabled.

Each one of these hellish places is full of what was once someone's dream home, church, building. While I too find it captivating, it saddens me just as it captures my attention. Michael Lavander 12 years ago.
Unlearn everything you have read in the media Hi guys, I am a Vancouver photographer very interested in urban decay. I will be in Toronto at the end of March and am planning a three day trip to Detroit to photograph HDR images of urban decay. I am not familiar with this unique city and therefore concerned about security wandering areas with my camera gear. I am looking for some advice and would greatly appreciate any comments as well as some indication of areas to explore.
Kind regards. AdamJaskiewicz 12 years ago. Don't carry a lot of gear. Leave most of it in your hotel room, not your car. It's far more likely that your car will be busted into than that you'll get mugged. Keep your head up, move confidently, and be aware of what's going on around you.
There's really so many areas that you've got to be more specific. There's always the classic Michigan Central Station, but it's rather cliche now. Do you want factories? Office towers? I think the whole "ruin porn" thing is overdone. Focus on the good things in the city, not the decaying skeletons of the past.
Or at least do both. Spend a Saturday morning at Eastern Market, get some tacos from a street vendor in Mexicantown, and wander around the Villages a bit. Adam, thanks for your kind advice.
