Abandoned
Itinerant screenshotRussian photographer Uryevich has a penchant for exploring abandoned Soviet building projects. And he's not afraid to pen the occasional brooding verse, either: "Footprint of civilization. Cement, metal, and dust not claimed by anyone. They are eternity." Fortunately, his pictures are way better than his poetry; he fills this haunting gallery with beautiful images of ugly structures. Highlights include the "Trip to automobile plant," replete with chassis rusting on the assembly line, and the "Trip to unfinished medical center," which features some moody snaps of Uryevich's traveling companion. The supremely creepy "Trip to abandoned children camp" would make a great location for a Nine Inch Nails video. (in Hobbies)
