When you think of ruins, it’s likely that you think of things like old castles, forts, or cottages — run-down pieces of history from long ago. But the world is full of modern day ruins too, from former homes where people couldn’t afford the up-keep to factories no longer in production. In this photostream you can tour photos of abandoned buildings from around the world, getting a glimpse into the not-so-distant past.
