very nice set, I really like #3. some of those are a bit creepy though, I bet they'd look really cool at dusk. reminds me a bit of the warehouse in Hostel 2.

These are very nicely done and do an excellent job of portraying the sense of "decline from grandeur" that one often gets when exploring a once bustling environment that has now become a ghost town

Thanks for sharing

Great series, I notice that there is no graffitti. Is that something peculiar to Finland?

Walls are still quite clean here but unfortunately we are following the other world and graffittis are more and more common even in small towns like Jakobstad.
