We came across these images on photographer Graeme Nicols’s flickr site. The photos show walls of buildings in the process of being demolished in Beijing, where Nicols is based. More images below.

They’re quite beautiful in their decaying state. We also noticed how nice the colour combinations were for colour scheme inspiration.

Wow. Somehow those are really gorgeous, all the layers and unexpected color.
absLUTEly gorgeous! i love images like this. you may like the work of Mark Woods as well. he photographs the 'ghosts' of signs and placards that used to be on building walls.
(you have to look for the Mark Woods who lives in Brooklyn)
I'm huge a fan of images of urban decay. These are great. They make me want to grab my camera and hit the streets of Boston looking for similar sights.
Beautiful. I love that someone else loves the beauty in decay, and can photograph it!
