There's something about abandonment that resonates strangely with the human spirit; and the sight of human buildings reclaimed by nature has a twofold effect.

From time to time in my travels, I've come across the derelict remains of churches; some of them boarded and fenced off in city centres, others left to rot in fields or forests. I felt it was about time I shared a few of these locations… and so here are five of the most memorable religious ruins that I've had the opportunity to explore.
