Abandoned Hotels in the Desert

I’m not the only one fascinated by pictures of abandoned buildings, because I’ve run across quite a few such photo collections on the Web. The hotels now look more like “architectonic sculptures” in the desert, the photographers claim, or derelict abstractions, as if some aging and half-crazed billionaire had constructed an eccentric sculpture park for himself amongst the dunes.








At night, when the stars come out, different constellations are framed by unglazed windows, as if justifying these concrete forms from above with the poetic force of celestial geometry.

    1. At least one of the images is taken by by Sabine Haubitz and Stefanie Zoche of Haubitz+Zoche at Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
