Ruins of contemporary Berlin

No, no WWII stuff here.

240 photos from ruins and falling-apart buildings in and around Berlin. Not all sceneries are must-sees, but some are fascinating, while others are simply ugly. Some remind me of the mood in stories of Ray Bradbury (the Spreepark), others have the mood and atmosphere of movies like Tarkowsky's Stalker, or the game of the same title (but different story).

I admit I have a weak spot for scenery like this: nature growing again on top of artifacts of former industrial life, an abandoned and slowly rotting fairground... Sends my mind on a voyage.

Some excellent urban decay explorations in this collection. Others are a bit humdrum. thanks for sharing.
