I can’t remember where I found this (apologies to OP), but I stumbled on it sitting on my desktop this morning and found myself lost in the images.
Places, once places thriving with industry and activity, abandoned to be slowly taken over again by the earth. These places have not rotted away or decayed due to neglect, they have revealed a beauty that lays hidden when the tide of daily humanity is regularly maintaining over them.

NEVER ARGUE WITH A WOMAN WHO READS!
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, “Good morning Ma’am. What are you doing?”
“Reading a book,” she replies, (thinking, “Isn’t that obvious?”)
“You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informs her.
“I’m sorry officer, but I’m not fishing, I’m reading.”
“Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”
“If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,” says the woman.
“But I haven’t even touched you,” says the game warden.
“That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.”
“Have a nice day ma’am,” and he left.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think.
