Some photographs stick with you for their beauty while others linger for their… how should we put this?…creepy qualities. This week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post is ‘eerie’. We had a shocking few pictures that we found to be haunting, ghastly, or bizarre in our portfolio since we tend to focus on the aesthetically pleasing.

When we first came to Korea over eight months ago, this place was evacuated in hopes of tearing down the rundown buildings and replacing them with high rise apartments. They are still to this day clearing out the trash, rebar, and old memories. We snuck into some of the abandoned buildings to get a few shots that would truly capture the ‘eerie’ photo challenge.

I love all of these!
Thank you!
