1. The Piano

If you abandon something made of wood, it's amazing how quickly nature will reclaim it.

2. Metal

What happens if the trash we leave isn't organic? Nature will still take over, growing all around it.

3. Train Tunnel

This is so gorgeous! I want to travel to France and take pictures here.

4. Mall, or Aquarium?

We've seen aquariums at malls, but this deserted mall has BECOME an aquarium.

5. Italy

This moss-covered building used to be a mill.

6. Playground

How amazing is this? Nature took over an old Ferris wheel, and it looks... gorgeous. Almost like art.

7. Sand

This is an abandoned mining town in Africa.

8. Another Tunnel

This is another train tunnel in France... this one looks like it might still be in use!

9. Ghost Ship

If this old ship isn't haunted, well, it should be.

10. Tree

This is fascinating, how the roots of this tree are burrowing into the space between the pavers, growing into those sharp angles.

11. Train Station

This used to be a train station in Abkhazia... look at the medallions on the ceiling, and those gorgeous columns!

12. Cooling Tower

Is this still in use? I don't think so. It's an old nuclear power cooling tower in Belgium. Wow!

13. Growth

This tree has completely taken over an old structure in Cambodia. I wonder how long before the building is completely obscured?

14. Hotel

Can you imagine what this abandoned hotel room must have looked like before? Now the Trip Advisor rating would be... well, not good.

15. Village

This used to be a fishing village in China. I'd still live here, though... would you?

16. Train Tracks

There hasn't been a train through here in so long... look how tall that tree is!

17. Mens' Room

This is just fascinating... and there's a joke in here about "nature calling" somewhere, but this is just really kind of beautiful, isn't it?

Have you seen other pictures that show Nature taking over after humans have left? Please share!
