Unspoken rules for lovers of extreme tourism:
Some abandoned objects are of historical value and are protected by the state. Empty settlements where people used to live deserve special attention. The once luxurious dilapidated estates, destroyed temples and churches are striking. The forgotten military equipment, no one needs fairy-tale mansions and huts that function before prisons and factories.
All ghostly deserted places are impressively picturesque or depressingly gloomy, but invariably attractive. There is something mystical in them that does not grow old and does not become obsolete, from century to century. While there, you understand that age and decrepitude are only a deceptive appearance of time.
These eerie images of abandoned places on our planet give you an idea of what this world would look like if people left it.
