The pictures it is about, zoom them!

I've always got a soft spot for the melancholy of industrial ruins and rusty railtracks thgat get reconqured by nature. The pictures above show the same way.

There are a lot of really brilliant shots in there. Especially the HDR photography gives a lot of possibilities to the artist.

Fantastic shots-Nature always reclaims what's hers in the end.

Sort of along the lines of what an old roommate of mine once said in regard to recycling: "Be patient. Everything's biodegradable in the end."

I'd almost call cgi on some of those. However that whole abandoned building thing has a certain allure to be sure.
