The perilous conundrum of specializing in badass location nude modeling: you’re always getting banged up climbing around on giant chunks of rusty old machinery…but then you’re expected to be flawless in the pics.

Hiker Discovers Abandoned Town in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee
“About a mile up an unnamed gravel road inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the back way into an abandoned neighborhood and hotel, some of which was originally constructed more than 100 years ago.”
In a film titled Tennessee Wonderland (click here for link), Liles explores the town and houses of this long forgotten but newly discovered ghost town.

Genuinely a bit sad that the Trump Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City were demolished. They don’t make them with these sloping curtain walls and slanted helmet elevator penthouses anymore.

The National Cancer Institute on Kasr Al Eyni Street south of the hospital. Built in 1969, the main portion of the building has been vacant for several years—in 2015, a move to a major new 9-million square foot campus in the distant new enclave of Sheikh Zayed City, 17 miles west of the city center on the desert edge of urban Cairo was announced, to be designed by SOM.
Last August, a car bombed exploded at the base of this building, killing at least twenty. The exurban campus has yet to be constructed, the NCI operates from a 2-level building in the shadow of this broad, empty tower.

The Shepheard’s Hotel, next door to the Semiramis Intercontinental on the Nile Corniche just south of Tahrir Square. Like the Semiramis, it was an historic 19th century palace hotel—Englishman Samuel Shepheard first opened lodgings on a nearby site in 1841. The famous landmark was destroyed in the anti-British fires of 1952 and replaced with by this larger modern riverfront block in 1957, which has been closed and stripped down under a very slow renovation that has been on-going since at least 2014.

Orphans of Time Rebecca Bathory
A fashion photographer turned urban explorer has swapped modelling shoots for the allure of abandoned buildings. Rebecca Lillith Bathory, from London, travels around the world documenting haunting spaces such as derelict hospitals, schools and villas. The fine art photographer has been capturing abandoned locations since 2012 and her work has been a big hit on social media, attracting nearly 100,000 dedicated followers across her accounts. But despite the beauty of her images, she refuses to disclose the exact locations of her photographs in order to protect the space for other explorers and avoid tipping off security.
