Abandoned religious buildings in Armenia and Georgia.
The beauty of abandoned buildings fascinates many photographers. However, often such abandoned places turn into real dens, which are scary to enter. But if you try, you can find completely unique structures, forgotten by everyone, in which nature has seized power. These are exactly the kind of buildings that Frenchman Dimitri Bourriau, who works under the pseudonym Jahz Design, finds.
