It Only Took 10 Years for the Summer Olympics Stadiums in Greece to Turn into THIS…

These photos of the abandoned Olympic facilities in Greece just ten years after the 2004 Summer Olympics blew me away. It was only ten years ago when these facilities were built. And now look at them:

What a disgraceful waste! But there is something hauntingly beautiful about these photos. It reminds us that nothing lasts forever. And I think that’s something worth sharing.
