Although they look unsightly or scary in some ways, abandoned places tend to have a beauty unique to them that has been polished over time. To truly stop and appreciate small things means to understand what might have happened there and the reasons why the place was set aside. Mansions, cinemas, castles, theaters, pieces of incredible architecture design, and even abandoned ships in the seas are part of an endless photo series, taken by visual artist Kim Zier.
Based in Monroe Township, New Jersey, Kim is not only a wedding photographer, but she also devotes much of her time to urban exploration and photographing abandoned houses and places completely forgotten by the world.
Below you will find a selection of her stunning pictures!

The procrastinators meeting will not come to order because of the lack of attendance, maybe next week?
some of those could be restored, if not, at least detailed and put on desplay. bugs are by far one of the most prettiest cars in the world
This is beautiful, I wish I knew where all these abandoned cinemas are!
what shall we change into? an indoor amusement park? into some spaces like: find the clue game ? into an Olympic gym? or there is no community left to be interested in that space anymore.
Its weird how the cutlery and glasses havent been touched and gone dusty yet they still look amazing!
It looks like the abandoned factory on the "last of us" almost at the end of the game. When you reach to the fortress where Joel, finds out his brother is alive.
this doesn't look abandoned, and if so, certainly can be transformed to suit other purposes
Even though this appears to be unsalvagable, it still pains me to see graffiti in places like this.
It looks like the entrance to madness.. Good material for silent hill followers like me :)
Another beautiful theatre with just the whisper of ghosts to fill it. So sad to see places like this abandoned and empty. Seems that this could be happening in more places around the world due to the pandemic ☹
If someone paid you $1,000 would you open that tiny door and sleep in there overnight?
Interesting ark-like building style. The portal windows are really lovely.
beautiful desk, and chair, and windows, with a bit touch can be placed on the market immediately
Imagine how beautifully ornate the original paint job would have been
Oh, wow—this is the above the dome! I went up into this area at The Castro Theatre in San Francisco after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake.
We had an old couch similar to this when I was young. It was the *most* perfect place for an afternoon nap.
They brought the clothes and the picture with them I saw the JC picture in a previous picture....... to much staging of things that do not belong.
I remember those upstairs bedrooms. Hotter than the hubs of hell in the summer.
So frustrating that there isnt any info on all of these places
How 'bout that. someone just abandoned that girl, just standin' there.
SUN beaming down on the Mother ship!!! :P The lighting and colors as usual are perfect.
The same suitcase that says sugar babies is in this picture in the middle, on the floor
not only abandoned, but probably dangerous to enter and try to salvage something
that is a sad imagine, but sad probably is what have cause it
they used to salvage the head and the hands of the saint statues, and try to place them on other ones when finding the right size or saint (I saw on TV)
look, the second one is bright red. probably was a very nice theater in its time. probably it is salvageable with a non-profit organisation, they will not have profit any time soon after the restoration
Its weird yet also beautiful what time can to do things! These a really amazing!
Such an shame that no info was posted along with these stunning photos. Also a shame that the photographer felt it necessary to add items to their shots, the buildings stood well on their own merits!
I can't help but to imagine how it all must have looked like some time ago, while it was still used and lived in.
Too many props in these pictures....The old buildings are good enough without props and photoshopped ghosts etc.
I want all the stained glass windows before they break . So gorgeous!
Would have given more with an explanation text about the pics, like an old church abandoned in 19xx. Old theatre in XYZ abandoned in 20XX.
Really cool photos! Some give me a bad feeling in my body, especially those taken where people used to live. I'm not a fan of the staged photos, though. I like to see it as it was found/left.
It's so sad seeing incredible and amazing arquitecture, furniture and art slowly decayig :( i mean, it looks hauntingly beautiful, but imagine enjoying this places in your day to day, or living there.
