Let’s face it; we don’t own the planet, we just live here! Humans may be at the top of the food chain, but we are just as dependent on Mother Earth for our survival as any other species. No matter how many high rises we build, tunnels we drill, or bridges we construct, we’re always at the mercy of nature’s power and force.

A Twitter page called “When Humans Leave” tackles this topic in startling, graphic detail. Each photo and video shared on this page shows a long-abandoned building or area that has been reclaimed by nature. It’s jarring to see man-made places like amusement parks and concert halls that have become so overgrown and unused that they’ve almost reverted back to a time before humans. Browsing this page is like taking a peek into a future where nature is back in charge!
