Artificial Owl & More Ruins
I’ve admitted my fascination with abandoned places before and have a deep admiration for photographers who risk rotted floors, squatters and who knows what else to capture amazing images. I can’t imagine what went in to getting these shots of an abandoned shipyard in Japan.
Artificial Owl is all about documenting abandoned man-made creations, from things like this shipyard to the tragedy of Chernobyl to random hospitals that no longer serve a purpose. These places would be difficult to photograph badly but I remain impressed by just how wonderfully they’re captured.
I could seriously lose hours browsing their archives.
These remind me of ruins I visited when I was in the Phillipinnes. One of the islands there was a US army base around WW2 and you can take a tram around the island to visit all the buildings. Most of them look like these by now–very cool.
(Really like the new layout! :) )
Wow, new website! Me like. But the letters could be a tiny bit bigger.
Just wanted to show you this: Jordan Dunn wearing the great Anna Sui dress, you bought ages ago, although you needed some persuasion: http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/home.php
Love the new look Ambika!!!
… and abandoned buildings!
Very cool photos and the new design looks fantastic!
These shots are amazing! I especially love the second one.
Your new layout is great. I love the colors and the needle-and-thread tail of the “Y”!
Abandoned places fascinate me as well! There’s an old state prison here in Tennessee that I’ve seen neat pictures of on flickr – now if I could just convince someone to go with me! I’d love to do more exploring like that, but I never really take the time to do so.
So gorgeous. Just like your new layout!
Wow, great layout!
Your redesign is lovely! Well done! I have no idea where you found the time what with new house fixing up stuff, etc….but wow!
Those pictures are stunning.
The new banner and colors look lovely :)
I love photos of abandoned places. I always see bloggers taking pictures in mysterious abandoned building and wonder why I have never ran into one! I was looking at photos of a huge city that was abandoned due to radiation from Chernobyl the other day and it was just so fascinating. I’d love to go there… and you know, not die, hehe.
What lovely photographs! I too have a love of abandoned places. I find that they make great photography subjects!
Amazing photos – they look like stage sets!
So amazing! Thanks for sharing the link. These are a lot like my dreams…for some reason I always dream about ruins.
