What a world without people will look like: 20 photos of long-abandoned places around the world

People on our planet live almost everywhere, but there are territories that for one reason or another were abandoned by them, and now nature is gradually erasing the traces of human presence. Such places in the most obvious way show us what will happen if people suddenly disappear once and for all.

So what would the world be like without us? Introducing a series of post-apocalyptic photographs from all over the world:

Cooling Towers in Alabama, USA

Abandoned 49-story Sathorn Unique Skyscraper, Bangkok, Thailand

A huge skyscraper could easily become one of the most chic with the country, if it were still completed. The work was stopped a few months before the official commissioning of the facility. Also a financial loss was added by the fire, which not only caused a lot of harm, but also claimed several lives.
