Some of these graffiti photos are just crying out to be punk rock album covers. Brilliant. So interesting to see the human overreach-- all the ego and self-aggrandizement-- in some of these "grand" hotels, then to see nature gradually reclaiming it all once again.

Yes, I love these atmospheres, the nature gets back its places! I could send some of the pictures to a punk rock band!

We have similar tastes! I loved Tskaltubo too. I am taking notes of this places because I am flying to Kirghizistan on Monday! So excited. Thanks so much for this series of articles!

Interesting story and stunning photos as always. They definitely have a post apocalyptic feel to them.

Reminds me of an abandoned and largely wrecked hotel outside of Sarajevo. The hotel had once been part of the Olympic Games then used in the fighting during the Bosnian War.
