Abandoned places

I've always had a strong fascination with abandoned structures and deserted places.  I can't help but wonder what they were like when they were populated and in use, and what caused their ultimate demise.  Needless to say, I was utterly captivated by this collection of abandoned places.  See if you don't get the same eerie feeling I get when looking at these photos.

sometimes abandoned places can be reused or reinhabited for new uses, like the old West Side highway before they tore it down but had condemned it....when Soho in downtown NYC where I was living at the time with my older kids who were young then, the highway was closed to traffic and weeds etc. were growing on it like a post-apocalyptic landscape, but we illegal occupants of illegal lofts (before the city made it legal to live in these old downtown factories and warehouses) on a sunny day would bring our kids out and up to the abandoned elevated highway and lie and play in the sun atop it with all its weeds and cracks and possibilities for injury and worse...anyway, that's what this evoked in me...
