World’s Most Beautiful Abandoned Places

Italian product manager and web designer Francesco Mugnai recently added a collection of images to his blog touting some of the most beautiful images of abandoned spots and modern ruins that he’d ever seen. The images Mugnai has captured come from empty castles, shuttered power plants, and dilapidated churches around the world. From a sunken yacht in Antarctica to a forever-closed amusement park in Japan, these images all make up a sort of anti-phoenix; rather than rising as new from the ashes, these husks remain preserved in decomposition, forcing viewers to confront the strange beauty of ruination.

Mary Burton Durell.

Mary Burton Durell creates worlds. Genuinely. She uses sheets of translucent paper to create tiny compartments, individual cells that she molds into these vast growths of bulbuous coral – organic structures that seem simple, poetic even despite their complexity. (by )
