In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to forget that we are mere visitors in the grand scheme of our planet. But a Twitter account called 'When Humans Leave' is here to remind us of that uncanny fact.
With a simple yet profound bio that reads, "When Humans leave, Nature starts to take back," this account offers a captivating glimpse into the power of Mother Earth.
From forgotten cities swallowed up by lush greenery to crumbling structures enveloped by cascading vines, each post is a poignant testament to time and its ability to settle the score.
While the account's bio invites submissions, it remains an enigma who is behind this online project. However, it is affiliated with the UK-based @WowTerrifying group, known for their colorful collection of viral content.
So, go ahead and immerse yourself in these captivating wonders of nature's resurgence!

The inside doesn't actually look all that bad. Surprised nobody has tried to refurbish this place. Diners, drive ins and dives could add this to the list.
Is this from the Vice video where they find what appears to be a drowned animal in the fountain? Abandoned building can be fun to explore, but you can find a lot of bad things. Occasionally bad things find you...
People living in tents would beg to disagree. And take their chances. I personally believe that all abandoned malls should be renovated by billionaires to house the homeless. I'd do it. If anyone's doing it; I'd invest.

Malls weren't really a thing back in the 70s. The 80s, malls were the only reason to live.

Sad... so much waste. So much more to come when they all close down for nothing
I've been inside a dying mall. They're strange. Many locales have learned the days of big indoor malls are gone. After our city decided to let a developer build one, thus killing the CBD & downtown businesses which couldn't afford the rent in the mall, they learned about 20 years later the mall was a bad idea when it folded and an outside company bought it, Leveled 1/2 of it and turned the remaining stores into outside entrance like the malls of yesteryear so none are dependent on a set schedule or what others are doing. The worst part is they lost nearly all the good stores and now they've filled it with anyone that's interested just so they have a tenant. So they have a bunch of c**p stores. If we need to shop variety, we have to drive nearly 100 miles.
Is this Rolling Acres in...I think it's Ohio?? (I'm not American but anyone who's enamoured with deadmalls and urbex has heard it)
This was Rolling Acres Mall in Akron, Ohio. I went there every weekend. They had a state of the art water fountain that was designed by an artist. The food court was amazing. While it set abandoned people would go in and shoot up the place. Now, it is an Amazon Warehouse.
Can you imagine exploring all on your own and going into the vault and the door swings shut and locks?
Where are all these bigger places, like theme parks, cinemas etc? Don’t the owners have an obligation to get rid of what can be recycled and not to leave junk lying around?
This is The Swingers' Tiki Palace in Birmingham, Alabama. The owner was convicted of tax evasion and hiring a hitman to kill his wife's lover. So, basically he was living the exact sort of life you would expect someone with a giant Playboy pool to be living...
If you build it, they will come. But dammit, put in some seats so they can watch the game when they get here!

There's a diner in Maryland that's across the street from an abandoned fairy tale type park. It's super-terrifying to be eating & look out the window at gnomes and s**t covered in kudzu.
In most of these, people had grand plans and just ran out of money.
