A Forgotten World

Welcome to my blog for Writers Craft. I have always been really interested by the world that man has created and then left behind. I hope to share the stories of these places as well as reflect on the state they are in and what brought it to such a place, you can tell a lot from the world by what was once important but is now forgotten. I hope that anyone who takes the time to read my posts will enjoy them as much as i enjoy writing them.

A Concluding Remark


Abandoned places are seen in every country on the planet. From ancient ruins to modern homes all have fallen victim to time and neglect. These beautiful monuments of humanities ability to build and design functional and habitable forms of art are slowly disappear from the earth as countless have already. Hundreds of Britain's stately homes have disappeared in the last century and many are soon to follow, these buildings are neglected year after year as families are reluctant to give up control to organizations that could save them.

A decaying building has beauty in itself, it shows the progress of change and renewal as the past is forgotten in favour of the future. It also reminds us what has been lost and what can never be again. They serve as a constant reminder that nothing is forever.

    Excellent photos!

    Nathan, your blog is interesting and informative. It needs a little more of your perspective and voice on the choices of locations. In some ways, you've missed an opportunity to tie creative writing to the project.
