Ruins of despair

Although I am very fascinated by the aesthetical aspects of decay and ruins there is certainly a group of sites that are more "challenging" and does not match the more "classical" sense of aesthetical properties. Places that not give a sense of melancholy but rather a sense of despair and brutality.

Great work, its amazing so many abandoned factories are still standing,
How do you gain access to them?

Fantastisk samling av industrihistoria eller exempel på "gamla synder". Eftersom jag jobbar med detta så är det verkligen intressant. Har själv inte någon sån fin samling bilder.
