I found these images so mesmerizing, evocative. I found my mind wandering as I looked at them, exploring the landscapes, inventing narrative. And wondering, wondering, wondering.
Worth a look…

I am currently reading The World Without Us, a 2007 non-fiction book about what would happen to the natural and built environment if humans suddenly disappeared. It’s very serendipitous that you posted these photos as I am reading this particular book. The book evokes many of the same emotions and musings that Burton’s photos elicit.

Having just taken the train, observing the decay in real time, these fotos make me long to get back on the rails…

Although haunting, in many ways thinking of the planet without us is, at the same time, hopeful. Life goes on, but in new and different ways. How natural it seems to get caught up in the mostly unconscious belief that I am the center of the universe–or, if not me personally, then at least humanity. Wake-up calls can be jarring, but they are also essential for my health and well-being.
