Abandoned by the World - Apocalypse Now Photo Series - Part 5

Apocalypse Now

Previous Segments of the Apocalypse Now Photo Series 


About a year ago I discovered Reddit and as any good Redditor will tell you- I've lost so much time because of it. So much time, gone. The wealth of information on reddit is incredible, and the daunting need to see it all is virtually insatiable.  I am constantly finding new favorites on the site, but my two favorites will always be r/ShowerThoughts and r/AbandonedPorn. Before I found r/AbandonedPorn I used to have to scour the interwebs for new pictures for this photo series, but now.. I'm drowning in them. Now Reddit has this thing about Buzzfeed always stealing their content for articles (I've seen the picture, Buzzfeed.) so I've decided to fully admit my 'borrowing'. These photos ( & the forum itself) are amazing, and need to be seen by the world. For those of you who haven't visited reddit yet.. I'm sorry. You'll understand later.

So once again let's look at some more abandoned places of the world, some near and some far but all equally as breathtaking. If you have an abandoned place in your area, or know of a cool location please feel free to submit via the contact tab above. Below are five more places that the world has forgotten but r/AbandonedPorn has found, some recent- some very old. You can look for Part 6 of the Apocalypse Now Photo Series in early fall of this year.

5 More Abandoned by the World - Apocalypse Now Photo Series - Part 4

Apocalypse Now

I was having so much 'fun' finding places that I got a little ahead of myself with this series and decided to continue it way earlier than expected, for the previous parts to the Apocalypse Now Photo Series please visit the following links [ Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 ]. The ruins of yesteryear exist everywhere in the world, and sometimes they're even in your own backyard. If you have an abandoned place in your area, or know of a cool one please feel free to submit via the contact tab above. Below are five more places that the world has forgotten about, some recent- some very old. You can look for Part 5 of the Apocalypse Now Photo Series in late summer of this year.

& Another 5 Abandoned by the World - Apocalypse Now Photo Series - Part 3

Apocalypse Now

Yet again we visit places that have been forgotten by the modern world, for the previous parts to the Apocalypse Now Photo Series please visit the following links [ Part 1 | Part 2 ]. Inside these places you are able to get a taste of the end of the world without experiencing the destruction first hand. As stated several times before- these places are abandoned which likely means that they are closed to the public, and any adventurer who wishes to visit these places in the future is advised to use stealth. This article will conclude the Apocalypse Now series for now, and new segments of the series will debut later this year in October.

The Original Town of Chaiten, Chile

Ruins of the Future - Sanzhi, China UFO Houses

The Old Village of Belchite - Zaragoza, Spain

Island of the Dolla - Canals of Xochimico, Mexico
