Abandoned Places - Hardcover

The idea behind Henk van Rensbergen's expeditions is simple: explore the urban jungle. Why travel to far-off natural jungles, when there are far more interesting places in your own neighbourhood - abandoned places, just waiting to be explored. Van Rensbergen sets off, looking for abandoned hospitals, overgrown industrial complexes, or urban palaces, ravaged by the driving rain, overgrown with weeds, decorated with grafitti. The resulting photographs are unequalled - beauty meets decay.

Henk van Rensbergen has been photographing abandoned places for almost twenty years. His website, abandoned-places.com receives more than a million hits a year.
