I'm a French artist, and my name is Dimitri "Jahz Design." I graduated as a graphic designer. I have always been interested in history and architectural remains. It was in 2013 when I developed my interest in the photography of heritage in disuse. My first exploration was an ancient cemetery of military ships.

I travel the globe looking for places in decline. Today, I want to share with you the most beautiful abandoned places around the world.

Also, check out my posts about the most beautiful abandoned castles, Georgian Soviet-era spas, European abandoned theaters, and lastly my most beautiful abandoned places around the world.

    Did the Soviets build the better space shuttle..? Yes they did! Don´t let the superficial resemblance fool you, given the same engineering problem with the technology at hand most designs will look similar. But the Buran was a next step in shuttles. It is interesting to speculate that if the Soviet union had not collapsed therefore pulling the rug from under the Buran´s feet, the Russians would have had an advanced spacecraft with capabilities way ahead of the American version of the shuttle. Sadly in the end the shuttle concept has proven to be a dead end. The betamax of spaceships.

    The detail in the dome looks as though there are tiny doorways all around it...such a beautiful haunting place with many stories to tell I'm sure!

    It reminds me of the scene near the end of *Close Encounters of the Third Kind* where when Truffaut gets on the ship

    Imagine singing anywhere here. It would sound so hauntingly beautiful. Call me sentimental, but I imagine you could almost hear the songs and laughter from so many years ago

    It’s so beautiful—I love that it looks like it’s made from metal rusted to varying degrees rather than the more prosaic rust-covered concrete.

    In my journey to capture the beauty of abandoned structures, I've encountered many intriguing sites with rich histories. This echoes the fate of relics from the past, similar to how a former stock market building in Antwerp served as a commercial center and later fell into disuse.

    Exploring the intricate architecture of forgotten landmarks offers a profound window into history and artistry.
