This section is devoted to photographs of ruins and abandoned places. For me, these have always been beautiful, intriguing, and transporting destinations; it’s said that the best photographs always provoke questions, and this is nowhere more true than at a derelict factory, crumbling abbey, or decaying country house (with the main one, of course, being ‘why?’). The ghosts of past lives make themselves felt in these places.
