I was online looking for photographs, and I stumbled upon a website called 31 Haunting Images of Abandoned Places That Will Give You Goosebumps. Although this does not give me goosebumps, the photo itself brings about a sense of wonder and awe. The ceiling of the building looks alien in a brutal and elegant manner. The scale of the ceiling compared to the man in the foreground emphasizes the grandness of the place. The snow/dirt coating the ground along with the holes in the ceiling wrap up this photograph nicely as to illustrate something intricate, but dissolved and in ruin.

The image above is of the I.M Cooling Tower in Belgium. The image itself caught my eye because of the geometric patterning to the structure. The rings stacking up from the base to the opening creates a sort of optical illusion, and gives a sense that the structure is curved. The platform in the center as well also plays into a sort of holistic site, as it is being illuminated from the light pouring down from the opening of the structure.
