Fukushima, Japan. The 2011 tsunami struck this seaside school, which stood only 250m away from the coast.

Disregarding the protocol to shelter in-place, staff and students instead fled to high ground. As the wave inundated the school, this action saved 100 lives as water reached the gym ceiling.

An abandoned roadside inn that closed down around 10 years ago. Somewhere in Germany.

The front bar had an interesting paint job on the walls; what colour would you call that? Chartreuse? 💚

🇫🇷👙💙Abandoned thermal spa in France

Since Roman times, people have bathed in the healing waters of this region. After a popular 17th-century novel sang the praises of the healing waters, the hot springs became popular. A new spa resort was built, which remained popular until the mid-20th century.

By the 1980s the spa finally closed.

A shelf full of books, dusty and forgotten inside an abandoned house. Tattered and well-loved, the adventures between the pages were read and reread by persons now long gone ⌚

🛒☢️ This supermarket stands frozen in time following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Located within the exclusion zone, it was evacuated without warning and has remained untouched since.

This lost place was one of seven selected from my portfolio for National Geographic's recent feature on abandoned places across Japan.

🇺🇦 ☢️🏚️In 2016 I visited the #Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine.

A whole city left abandoned following the disaster at Reactor Number Four of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant at 1.24am on 26th April 1986.

Within the 20km Exclusion zone, streets have been taken back by nature. Homes, hospitals, schools, sports complexes, shops and cafes. Frozen in time,

Inside the old shower block, is a room filled with lockers. On the rotting wooden benches sits a lonely hard hat.
