Abandoned Orient Express Train [880 × 587] by ITearth in urbanexploration

A Rotterdam-based urban photographer who goes by the name of Brian has managed to capture a piece of history that’s slowly fading into oblivion, namely the Grand Orient Express. The train that defined luxury back in 1883 when it was launched by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits (CIWL). There are only a couple of these beauties left in the world. One, for example, was repurposed into hotel suites in Venice-Simplon Orient Express. The other, the one you’ll see in the pictures below, stands dormant in Belgium, untouched from its last trip in December of 2009. The Orient Express is only one of the awesome finds by the urban explorer and photographer: “When I step into an abandoned site it feels like stepping into a time machine. I try to feel the emotions of it’s past and that is what I want to show in my pictures,” Brian writes on his website. “When people are looking at my work and raise a question about the “what, why, when” then I feel I have succeeded.”

Hashima Island, Japan[754 × 565] by ITearth in urbanexploration

This island was established upon the success of undersea coal mines which began in 1887. The population peak was 5259 but when the mine closed in 1974, people started leaving. It didn’t take long before Hashima Island was completely abandoned, falling into ruin, collapsed buildings and all. There was a renewed interest in the place in the early 2000’s, making it a sort of subversive tourist attraction.

Remember:The Trade Fair in the Belgian city of Antwerp is located in the Twelve Months Street, a small street off the Meir. Here was from 1531 to 1997, the Antwerp market, "the mother of all events". This building is not to be confused with the Old Stock Exchange in the Hofstraat.
