The key is the emptiness, uncanny lack of belonging that the chair represents.

Places and things which have been abandoned.

This group is for all of those beautiful, old things which are disappearing from our world: old buildings, wonderful old walls, old mechanical devices like typewriters and parking meters. If you can't preserve it physically, preserve it photographical...

Rusting, crusting, rotting, decomposing and just plain falling apart.

Photos and stories about abandoned paper mills, condemned hospitals, decaying barns.

Urban exploration, industrial archeology and modern industry photography.

Photoblog and Flickr group for images of nature in an urban context.

Photos of architectural details and ephemera: bits of carving and molding, doors and windows, peeling paint, rusty metal, old brickwork, decaying wood, graffiti, signs, murals, urban art, billboards. No photos with people in them.

A project of Kim Koester, Richard Schumann, Stephan Schulz and Johannes Buenemann. Walk through the sights and hear the sounds of a dilapidated structure.

Photographic essays include explorations of a girls orphanage, insane asylum, hospital, crypt, and steel plant.
