25 Abandoned Buildings And Monuments Lost In Time
Although it might seem odd, there are abandoned places all over the world. It is weird to think about the fact that sometimes buildings just go untouched for decades. There are abandoned places that range from small houses or diners to mansions and churches. There are even abandoned cruise ships and artifacts. It's interesting and kind of creepy all at the same time.
It is unusual to see these normally high-traffic places so empty and quiet. They raise questions pertaining to how the building got to be abandoned, what used to go on when it was not abandoned, and what might come of it in the future. It's hard to say sometimes why these places become forgotten.
Many people who go looking for these abandoned places to explore choose to share photos of them online for all to see. Here are 25 images of abandoned buildings, monuments, and other places that have been untouched for so many years.
