My husband sent me a link to this article on My Science Academy, see here, that features 30 beautiful abandoned places all over the world. I hate to simply regurgitate something I have been sent, but I thought I would choose a few of the photos to share with you all. It is photos and places like these that are the reason I became a preservationist. If looking at these pictures somehow moves something inside of you, or you begin to tear up, then guess what? You’re a preservationist.
