🏰 A huge abandoned "fortress" in the desert, #Jordan

Rising from the sands of the Wadi Rum desert, this fortress is not an ancient ruin but an abandoned TV set. Built for the short-lived gameshow Les Forges du Désert (2001), designed to mimic a historic stronghold. If you know what Crystal Maze is, it was very much like that!

⚡🌊 Centrale Idroelettrica. A utilitarian-style Art Deco powerplant, somewhere in Italy.

It powered an electrochemical complex that was a key part of the steel industry. Targeted by WWII bombing raids due to its strategic importance, it was partially restored in the 1960s. Eventually, it closed in the 1970s.

An abandoned rusting industrial ruin in North Wales.

This former industrial site was used to extract bromine. Established to produce fuel additives for leaded petrol, the works transitioned to bulk bromine and sulphuric acid production in the 1960s.

However, a major fire and a toxic gas leak in the 1990s left five people injured. The plant was decommissioned in the mid-2000s.

Since Roman times, people have bathed in the healing waters of this region. After a popular 17th-century novel sang the praises of the healing waters, the hot springs became popular. A new spa resort was built, which remained popular until the mid-20th century.

By the 1980s the spa finally closed.

Kuroshio Inn. An abandoned hotel somewhere in Japan 🇯🇵

Kuroshio (黒潮 ) means “black tide”. This nickname relates to the current which flows along the southern coast of Japan. The water has a bluish-black appearance, owing to low amounts of plankton. This transparent and dark appearance earned the name “black tide”.

👼🎻 La Chapelle de L’ange au Violon (The Chapel of the Angel with the Violin). France

This 19th-century family chapel sits in the grounds of an estate in southern France. Violin-playing stone angels decorate the columns of the sanctuary. The tall vaulted Gothic ceiling is collapsing. Most of the stained glass windows lay empty, the glass naturally dislodging as the decades progressed.
