I recently returned from a trip to Beatty NV, cutting up through Death Valley National Park. There is something interesting about abandoned buildings, how they are reclaimed by their environment  in a way. One might assume it plausible compare architecture to living things in this way.

If decolage turns you on like it does me, then you might consider spending a few years looking at this website. OK, its all in German, but you can figure it out, you’re really smart. The upside is there seems to be an infinite amount of documentation of abandoned buildings, houses, industrial structures of all kinds. Wonderful photography of what’s left of these cadaverous giants.
