When nature recovers its rights, the result is simply spectacular.

I have been traveling around Europe for almost 10 years in search of forgotten heritage places. Here you find a series of photographs where nature mixes with human's built environment.

I have the fantasy to see it once renovated. Might look stunning.

For me, there’s something transfixing about trees growing in what was once indoors. When I was a child, my parents had friends who lived in the hills of California’s Gold Country and they had a house that had been build around a redwood tree, and the toilet paper hanger was affixed to the tree.

When I was a child, I loved the bumper cars at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.

I saw this place the other day on Discovery Channels abandoned engineering program. This is an old coal power tower in Belgium, the name is Power Plant IM – Charleroi, Belgium if you'd like to read more on that.

I feel like I've seen this photo before--that is simply one of the most beautiful windows--art nouveau? Is there any chance it will be restored? or saved?

I wish someone with lots of funds would restore all these beauties. I hate to see abandoned homes.

Yet those nylon/polyester drapes are untouched by decay. Take note--they will outlive us

At first I thought that thing on the left was a coffin, but then I realized it was an old gymnasium and that it’s a horse (or at least that’s what it was called when I took gymnastics 50+ years ago).

If this was safe I would clean the walls, floor and ceiling, but keep the bracken. And live in it. Of course replace the chair and cupboard.

This looks like a similar photo I have seen in Chernobyl area.
