Photographer Bob Thissen beautifully captures one of Japan's abandoned love hotels

For photographer Bob Thissen, he finds them something of a fascination – particularly those that have become unused and abandoned, like this "Love Motel" on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Of course, Bob happens to be quite passionate about researching and exploring abandoned buildings around the world. He's been to uncountable locations to capture what he calls "the beauty of decay". The Love Motel is one of his recent discoveries. And when you browse through the eery images, you can see glimpses of what might have happened behind closed doors.
