Nature resurges to overtake abandoned architecture captured by photographer

[FfFfFfFF 58,072]

From dilapidated power plants, abandoned medical facilities, and amusement parks left in rusted ruin, the compelling scenes that French photographer Jonathan Jimenez, aka Jonk (previously), captures are evidence of nature’s endurance and power to reclaim spaces transformed by people. Now compiled in a new book titled Naturalia II, 221 images shot across 17 countries frame the thriving vegetation that crawls across chipped concrete and architecture in unruly masses.

As it should!

Sometimes I wish tiny towns could be deconstructed and replanted. Recycle materials from the buildings, and move the people to a bigger, denser town/city.

This looks like it’s taken from The Last Of Us.

I love these architectural or human-made things in general where nature has taken over, I find it beautiful.

Some of the first pictures look like the Baudelaires burnt house in "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" (movie)

It's so beautiful, I love it!

 

Reminds me of Atafona, a city that's being taken by the sea. I was there once when I was a kid and I remember the houses in the middle of the sea.

This also reminds me of Armenian ruins found underwater in Lake Van in Turkey
