Beautiful Abandoned Locations That Showcase Nature’s True Beauty

There’s an endless list of wonders around the globe that are ready to be explored. While some of these objects were discarded and forgotten, other places have been neglected and entirely absorbed by nature.

Some of these mysterious spots include an abandoned mine, a Harley-Davidson graveyard, an abandoned yellow house in Nova Scotia, and even a Soviet hydrofoil.

While some of them are in a complete state of disarray, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about these eerie locations.

An Abandoned Farmhouse in Ontario, Canada

This photo of an old abandoned farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, is most puzzling because it shows a beautiful, luscious green lawn that seems to be thriving on its own even though the property seems to be completely wrecked.

Who would bother to take care of the lawn by watering it and mowing it while completely neglecting the trees and the exterior of the property?

An Abandoned Space Shuttle in Kazakhstan

The Baikonur Cosmodrome was a secret space port in an area of Kazakhstan that was leased to the Russians. From here, Yuri Gagarin became the first cosmonaut to launch into space in April 1961.

The space shuttle known as the Buron flew once in November 1988, but there were several test flights that included 24 on Earth. The shuttle’s cabin was designed for up to 6 passengers.

Unfortunately, the project never took off because the government in the area fell in 1991. So, the shuttle has remained abandoned here ever since.

A Sunken Volkswagen Beetle in Mexico

This Volkswagen has certainly seen better days, but no one actually drove it into the sea. It’s actually a part of an underwater museum in Cancun, Mexico. There are over 500 sculptures like this one.

That’s right, this is a replica of the classic Volkswagen Beetle and is home to various marine life. Those looking to take a gander at this sunken Beetle can go snorkeling or diving.

But those who would rather stay dry have the option of taking a ride on a boat with a glass bottom.

The Yellow House in Nova Scotia

This home in Nova Scotia is surrounded by a field of dandelions. Perhaps this was the inspiration behind the owner’s decision to paint the home bright yellow.

As far as why this home was abandoned, many believe that a lack of opportunity to grow because of the bad economy in the region forced the original owners to simply abandon it once their parents died.
