Gorgeous photos, but many of the locations aren't abandoned.

Which in a way makes them even MORE interesting.

I see things like this, even locally where I'll come across a stone wall that is falling into disrepair, or an old barn is left to deteriorate into the ground, and I can't help but to think about the hard working people who put their sweat and tears into transporting the materials needed to make those things, and the hard labor that went into the construction.

And now, the structures, like the people who built them, are likely long forgotten.

Imagine working on the outside wall of this place

Amazing. But as usual, a couple were photoshopped. I don't mind using a program to improve the sharpness or color quality, even straightening a shot. But one of the pics of like a fairy castle with branches and moss all over was a very nicely done photoshop.

I proved it myself by going to the address a response posted that showed a look alike in france. The fake is very good.

I'd like to know how the hell they built the lighthouse at the edge of iceland. I'm pretty sure that's real because I think I've seen other angles of it before. You find some neat links.
