Schiffweiler's Sunken Shaft Copses
Abandoned place – Saarbrücken, Germany
Hidden within the rolling agricultural fields of Schiffweiler, Germany, these isolated, densely overgrown copses of trees mask historic mining subsidences. From above, they appear as green islands in a sea of tilled earth, reclaiming the dangerous collapses of a subterranean industrial past where the earth once swallowed the surface.
