These abandoned buildings have become a thing of beauty after being derelict for so long that Mother Nature has reclaimed the site. Photographer Johnny Joo, from Cleveland, has traveled the United States photographing derelict sites from fairgrounds to shopping malls. The resulting set of images captures an unexpected beauty in the crumbling structures. (Caters News)
