Seaun O'Boyle's Photography of Abandonment

Modern ruins exist in the fringe landscapes of our cities, places that were once hardwired to the center of the social and industrial infrastructure, now they have become faded shadows hidden behind cyclone fences on the outskirts, along old canals and abandon rail lines.

Modern Ruins Photographic Essays - Shaun O'Boyle

This site has a series of photoessays on abandoned land, buildings, and objects. His images are haunting, melancholy, and quite beautiful. Shaun has a good eye, and a fascination with these abandoned things. I highly recommend a visit to his site.
