The Forbidden World of Urban Exploration

“Change is the only permanent thing in the world.”

There are unheard stories associated with these abandoned places across in the world.

Here's something beautiful about abandoned places The clocks have stopped ticking and there's not a soul in sight, but the shell of what used to be remains.


These spots are Haunting, and there is a mysterious beauty in neglect.

Some of them were

once flourishing with miners and their families until resources were depleted

Some others  were beautiful mansions full of history that were nourished by the noble families they lived in there till no-one was left.

And then


They GOT ROTTEN


But the history is still intact

Despite everyone knows how much I’m truly into wilderness living

There’s a strong attaction between me and these abandoned places.

And I think it’s strongly linked to my obsessive and sometime irrational curiosity

Curiosity always bring me 200% into the things I love or that caught my attention.

Peaceful Moments in Chaos

Have a team mate during these adventures is very important.

Better be safe than Sorry, don’t forget it.


Plus there’s also another aspect that make me so interested in these dark, stoic, rotten abandoned places.

I  use to call it “The Third Landscape”



The first landscape is our beautiful natural environment where we often go to find peace and enjoy our favorite activities

The second one is the urban landscape where, most of us ,have to  go to accomplish our daily human tasks

But there’s also the third landscape that represents the inexorable powerful action made by Mother Nature to take back what we once conquered from her.

Exploring these places you clearly see the constant action taken by Mother Nature on these abandoned memories.

This slow but steady process excite me so much !

(Shots of myself were taken by my lovely Half Erika Bastogi)

And yes, for me these places  are the pure example of abandoned memories.
