Loket 4

On the anniversary of the September 11 attacks and President Bush’s subsequent remark to keep on shopping, German magazine Die Zeit publishes a series of beatifully haunting and stark immages of empty shopping malls in the US.

Most pictures are taken by night adding to the eerie atmosphere. It’s easy to see the pictures as an example of the decline of the US as a world dominating economic power. But it’s much more fun to just enjoy the sheer beauty of these empty mastodonts.
