Twitter user Alex Menn shares pictures of abandoned places from all around the world and the images are hauntingly beautiful, to say the least.

They capture the eerie stillness of forgotten factories, temples, amusement parks, and other locations. Some of the sites appear frozen in time, with old machinery and furniture left behind as if the occupants suddenly vanished and never returned. Others show signs of decay and nature slowly reclaiming the structures.

Through these photos, Alex Menn provides a glimpse into the past, provoking our imagination to complete the stories behind these mysterious areas and buildings, and his account is a must-follow for anyone interested in urban exploration and photography.

Houses found deep in forests fascinate me and make me feel uneased at the same time.

    Looks like kudzu. Some counties in South Carolina have a full time crew to keep after the kudzu.

    After being a ruin for most of my adult life (I'm almost 36) it's currently being restored. You can find a couple of live streams of the building at https://cazinoconstanta.ro/ if you're curious about its current status. And a bit of trivia, the last major restoration job was done in the 1950s, during the communist regime, when political prisoners were used for the work. The current restoration project uncovered various notes hidden in the walls by the prisoners, such as farewell messages and lists of names of the people who worked there, in the hope that the messages would be found some day and they would not be forgotten.

    It is 1 meter deep and not from viking times, that rock is also fake, made of glasfiber. It is a abandoned viking theme park of some sort, in Iceland. There are more buildings, all in ruins. Sorry.

    This looks like the church from the Walking Dead when they first met the priest, Gabriel.

    Ah, the infamous German T-Boat. (I think they got better as they went down the alphabet.)
