We Created Illustrations Of Destinations That No Longer Exist

ADVERTISEMENT

We created an illustrative series titled Faded Footprints, which looks back at once-popular tourist destinations that are now extinct.

As more and more natural and manmade creations around the world come under threat from climate change, war and irresponsible tourism we want to commemorate some of the beautiful landmarks and locations we’ve lost over time.

We hope you enjoy it! Maybe you even visited some before?

Azure Window, Malta

Guaira Falls, Brazil

Jeffrey Pine, Yosemite

Love Locks Bridge, Paris

Chacaltaya Glacier, Bolivia

Boeung Kak Lake, Cambodia

Old Man of the Mountain, New Hampshire

Jonah’s Tomb, Iraq

Mukurob, Namibia

Palmyra, Syria

This is beautiful, and noble, but I'm going to be THAT person. 1) I would love to have more information on why each destination is no longer reachable. Which would help with 2) The Finger of God (Mukurob) fell over as a result of natural wind erosion. 3) The Bridge of Locks in Paris is still standing, but the locks have been removed as they became a danger to the structure. Not sure either of these belong in a list dedicated to attractions lost to man-made causes?
