Neat, but kinda sad.....

Old Olympic venues left to rot away. I can see some of the more remote venues being discarded, but you'd think they could find more uses for some of these.

    Kind of sad, yes, but in several of these photos there's wonderful evidence of the way nature is reclaiming these places.
