Photographer Travels Thousands Of Kilometers Looking For Abandoned Places In Europe
Here is the story of Jonk, a French photographer from Paris, who travels all over Europe to find abandoned places. In these forgotten schools, churches, castles, theaters he finds unique atmospheres, where the passage of time, urban decay, and often even the nature that takes back its rights, creates poetry and a very particular soul. These interesting photos narrate the memory of these beautiful places, the moment where an activity stopped, where a destiny tumbled. They tell a unique experience: the one of time.
Most of these abandoned buildings are private properties, with complicated and often dangerous access in which the conditions for urban exploration and taking pictures are often difficult. For two years, he roamed through England, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Switzerland, and Ukraine taking pictures of these abandoned houses.

Very beautiful places. I don't know why people abandoned them. There are so many ideas which can fit with the buildings (mostly buildings).

You are very right... "Why" is THE question, every place has its own story...

I've always wanted to travel the world in search of beautiful abandoned places~ It's so beautiful but so sad that these historic structures aren't being preserved :<

I have always wondered about this kind of places... In my country no abandoned place would stay so beautiful and even with some furniture for a long time...
