Use the photos posted in this feature for writing prompts, warm-up activities, drawing templates or as part of a photo analysis.
It’s amazing how resilient nature is and how it will always find a way to reclaim what man has made for itself. It makes you wonder just how this car made it to the middle of the woods, or even what was there before the forest made its move to claim the area.
From Reddit user /u/BillNyesEyeGuy (the photographer) this photo was taken at “Hurtado Point, near Lund.” in British Columbia, Canada.

I absolutely love these images of abandoned structures, and the hobby of urban exploration (even though I do not partake myself). Getting a snapshot of a life suddenly left behind and the way that nature always comes in and reclaims what man has made in various ways will always fascinate me.
From Reddit user /u/brosofdecay (the photographer): “It was a little cozy home in Luxembourg and it has been abandoned for around 20-30 years now. A man and a woman used to live here but they both passed away.”
