From disused fairgrounds to neglected cliff-top hotels, these atmospheric pictures of urban decay and abandoned buildings show just how rapid decline can be without human attention.
Disasters such as earthquakes, nuclear explosions and prolonged warfare have left some places uninhabitable while others, like Japanese fairground Nara Dreamland, sadly just fell out of fashion.
At the ends of the earth are beautiful sights such as the underwater Christ of the Abyss statue off the Italian coast and the ghost town of Kolmanskop in the Namibian desert, rarely ever seen by people any more.

I find pictures like these fascinating. Spooky but yet beautiful too.

What did you think of them?
 
Some strange sights for sure.
Good fun for future archaeologists.
The Ik-Kil Cenote in Yucatan, Mexico is one of several 'cenotes', which were sacred wells used by Mayans. Young men and women were thrown and left to drown there as a sacrifice to the god of rain, but now they are popular with tourists for swimming.
