Buildings reclaimed by nature. – By Camilo Jose Vergara – Slate Magazine

This is a kind of photography I really enjoy — ruined and abandoned places. I’ve been known to tramp around over-grown cemeteries, clamber over rusted machinery to get a better angle, and poke around buildings like these with no eye toward potential peril.

Go through the slideshow. It’s really worth it, especially the shots that compare the state of given buildings over a period of years.
