Here's the text from the back of the book:



"Abandoned buildings are a kind of wilderness turned inside-out. Exploring them inspires a sense of wonder and discovery, as if entering an unknown landscape. What you may find around the next corner is a mystery and few people will ever witness it.



The way nature encroaches into abandoned structures suggests a connection to wilderness as well. Usually the most beautiful sights in abandonments are the result of natural processes left to operate on man-made materials, machinery, surfaces, furniture.



Then there is the history of these locations, further fueling the imagination. I often think of who might have inhabited the spaces, what the structures might have looked like when they were new and how they formed a backdrop to people's lives. Abandonments are a reminder that nothing is static, that everything is constantly changing."
