When nature takes its toll: 19 atmospheric "abandons" (20 photos)

In a world where man has left his traces in almost every places, it's so amazing to watch how nature sometimes takes its toll - and shows who's in charge here. Photographer Jahz Design showed his series photographs of abandoned places found in several countries around the world. On these pictures - places forgotten by man and objects that "absorbed" untamed wild nature. According to the photographer, this is how nature "returns your true rights."





"Each photograph in this series shows an impressive transformation. From abandoned buildings overgrown with vegetation to desert roads covered with moss - the pictures show how nature literally seeping into man-made urbanism," writes photographer.
