Lori Nix and Her Little Places

Stumbled upon these great dioramas by Lori.

 "Abandoned buildings in an apocalyptic world"... 

From CoolHunting - She "photographs epic scenes of destruction and grandeur, natural wonders and glittering metropolises, magnificent architecture and heroic landscapes that all have one thing in common—they're all fake. Lori gives us a tour behind the artifice, showing us how she meticulously crafts the miniature sets using found objects and model-making materials."

Her site is here.
