We can think that we’re leaving our mark on the Earth as much as we want, but it’s only temporary. With time, Mother Nature reclaims its lost territories and there’s not much we can do about it. Bored Panda has compiled a list of photos of abandoned places, cars and even entire towns that are losing their battles against disappearing because of the force of nature, and you don’t have to be an urban explorer to be moved by them. “By the sweat of your brow, you will eat your food until you return to the ground since from it, you were taken; for dust, you are and to dust, you will return.”
