Title:The magical tracks of the misty forest
One of the most special trips I made was to Taiwan. Hidden deep in a forest was this magical trail. The fog completed the scene.

Biography: I am a Dutch photographer with a passion for the beauty of decay. I explore the normally unseen or off-limit parts of urban areas or industrial facilities to make pictures of the beauty of natural decay, before they are trashed, demolished or renovated. The buildings I shoot can be hospitals, castles, manors, industrial buildings or private houses. These buildings are not freely accessible and visiting them is often dangerous.
