The abandoned Ta Prohm temple in Angkor, Cambodia
(reddthat.com)
High quality images of abandoned things and places.
!abandonedporn@reddthat.com is for real places, but fictional ones are welcome over at !imaginarywastelands@lemm.ee.
Missing from these shots are the queues of tourists behind, waiting to take the same shots including the obligatory tourists with an iPad on a selfie stick more interested in looking at their iPad and posing than taking in the beauty and wonder of the surroundings.
Also missing is the pushy tour guide making up nonsense about the site’s history.
Sometimes it's better that places like this become tourist traps with local monetary interest otherwise they end up getting vandalised or used to dump rubbish.
I only knew the above because I was one of those herds handing over dollars haha. Fully agree with you - although plenty of tourists scratch their names into the walls.
