Burj al Babas was left unfinished last year after developers Sarot Property Group went bankrupt. The future of the 300 Disney castle style homes – which cost an estimated £151m to build – is now uncertain, and the dystopian sight has become a cautionary tale for other developers in Turkey’s debt-laden construction sector

What the hell as the plan with those? It looks really odd that all the houses are uniform and they're in the middle of nowhere by the looks with zero infrastructure or anything around them for anyone who might buy one. Why do I feel like someone scarpered with a lot of cash from that project?

Passionate about urban exploration, the photographer roamed around Japan's ruins, witnesses to a bygone era.
"Romain Veillon has two passions in life, first, urbex, the exploration of abandoned locations, and secondly, photography. The photographer has combined the two, documenting a different side of Japan, off the beaten path.
Over the course of three weeks, he explored the least-known corners of the archipelago, going as far as to find himself among ruins. Once bursting with life, these hotels, onsen, schools, casinos, temples and even a theme park, have since been plunged into the depths of an unnerving silence.
Fascinated by the mysticism of these place, where only nature remains, Romain Veillon has immortalised these sublime scenes of decomposition. Spared from vandalism, these sites remain almost troublingly familiar, giving his photographs an even more striking character."
