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.

🇫🇷👙💙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.

🩵💛In a mossy and fern-covered corner of this old mill are two old-timers. A pair of vintage 1920s/1930s Citroen cars, in cornflower blue and daffodil yellow!

Out Of Office. Behind (mostly) locked doors, I slip inside to explore this rotting and moss-covered aeroplane crew training facility. Somewhere in England.

Somewhere in the USA. High above the city, this abandoned penthouse cinema spans the top two floors of a narrow 10-storey building. This #ArtDeco era theatre started life as a vaudeville venue but appears to have fallen out of use when other theatres switched to movies.

In the early 1960s it came back into use, showing foreign and art-house films. Within a decade the cinema would close for good.

Cavern Of Lost Souls, Wales. A narrow opening in this old slate mine has allowed decades of illegal dumping of cars and household appliances. The water is an ominous turquoise, filled with a toxic cocktail of leached chemicals.

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 ⌚
