REMNANTSBOOK
Remnants - the things we leave behind, by Jon Davison
REMNANTS - structures lost to time
I have an endless fascination with ruins, wrecks and relics - the things we have left behind. I have been shooting them for many years now, including during my Berlitz Travel Guide and other mainstream publishing assignments. I have covered such places as the Lydian Tombs in Turkey, the Mayan ruins in Mexico's Yucatan, the French 'Cathar' castles and fortified towns of Occitanie as well as pigeonniers. Angkor in Cambodia, Thailand, UK, Roman, Greek, Australian gold mines, abandoned wooden homes in New Zealand and many more.
Please contact me for more information. All photographs © Jon Davison 2022.
