🆕 🏠 🇬🇧 New location feature: Jacqueline’s Cottage, Wales.
The structure now succumbing to the elements as ivy begins to works its way in through the failing windows.
The story of the last occupants is unknown, inside a book I discover the name Jacqueline. She led a simple life and perhaps left in the 1980s or 1990s.

Nestled deep in the Highland forests of Scotland lies an abandoned Opel Olympia. Trees and undulating ground surround the car; it is a considerable distance from the nearest road. A strange scene, but a beautifully photogenic one.

🔏 An old disused prison in Germany.
Initially designed for medium-term and pre-trial detention, this building and its 50 single-occupancy cells have witnessed some darker chapters in history.
Disused since the 1980s, the khaki green halls still contain haunting cells with folding bunks and reinforced doors.

🆕 🧙♂️🏛️ 🇬🇧 New location feature: The Druid’s Temple, England.
Lost in the forests of #Yorkshire, a series of stone pillars form a circle.
This isn't an actual "Druid's Temple", it is an elaborate 19th-century folly.
However, the site is tied to unusual local folklore.

🤠 #Westworld vibes! A surreal piece of Americana in Japan,an abandoned theme park filled with animatronic cowboys.
Built on a dream in the 1970s, the attraction evolved from a horse ranch into a million-visitor attraction. The opening of juggernauts like Tokyo DisneySea and Universal Studios Japan in the mid-2000s signalled the end.

📷 Same location, three perspectives! I wild camped in this abandoned theme park in Japan.
🌄 Arriving late in the day, I captured the sunset behind the Ferris wheel, then enjoyed a beer and relaxed.
🌟 Later, I tried my hand at some astrophotography when the stars came out!
🌞 The next morning I awoke early and photographed the theme park in the early morning sun

🇮🇹🌿An abandoned glasshouse, or conservatory, somewhere in Italy
At one end, a large fan-shaped window connects to a secondary conservatory. Today, the glass has given way to the elements, allowing vines and branches to creep across the floor and slowly reclaim this ornate indoor garden.

✈️ 🚂 🚗 Planes, Trains and Automobiles (and a cable car!) 🚡
Old cars taken for one last drive and dumped in forests. Cable cars left in silent stations. Soviet-era planes, once gate guardians to old air bases, now just an out-of-place curiosity. Huge rusting steam trains languishing in old collapsing depots.

🏰 A huge abandoned "fortress" in the desert, #Jordan
Rising from the sands of the Wadi Rum desert, this fortress is not an ancient ruin but an abandoned TV set. Built for the short-lived gameshow Les Forges du Désert (2001), designed to mimic a historic stronghold. If you know what Crystal Maze is, it was very much like that!

An abandoned nine-pin bowling alley, somewhere in Germany 🇩🇪
The was built for nearby factory workers in the 1950s.

Spaceship Ropeway is an abandoned aerial tramway station, perched high on a valley wall above a river. Somewhere in Japan.
Built in the 1960s, it once carried visitors 730 metres across the gorge to a nearby theme park. The park closed around 2000, and the ropeway shut with it.
One rounded gondola remains in the upper station, a one-tonne cabin from the 1980s named Silver, painted green with red trim.

🇭🇺✈️ A field full of old Cold War Soviet airplanes, left to languish in a farmer's field somewhere in Hungary
These are Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (MF, bis, 21UM) and Sukhoi SU-22 (M and UM3), manufactured in the 1960s and 1970s.
After being delivered to this field around the 1990s, they stood in neat rows for decades. A few years ago, they were removed.
