Osarizawa Factory and Mine, Sports World Ruins

This is an amazing article by Michael John Grist, a freelance photographer and novelist. I always feel the urge to pull over and explore when I see run down houses or buildings from the road, and seeing vegetation overtake a forgotten structure is a nice reminder of how resilient and tenacious nature actually is.

Edit: Grist has a Vimeo account! So good: http://vimeo.com/user464007
