Photographer and activist Seph Lawless's work documenting abandoned malls and theme parks went viral this week, with a spotlight on shots he took in the shutdown Lincoln Mall in Chicago. As you'll see, there are no Black Friday crowds. The only signs of life are mall plants that continue to grow under the eery glow from the skylights.

Check out some highlights from Lawless's amazing Instagram account below, and check out a full slideshow of his Lincoln Mall images here.
