Oh… That is so beautiful and sad.
I sometimes watch that program about what happens to the world if humans simply cease to exist. I think about all those decaying buildings and think how sad that there would be no one there to witness it.

I keep hoping that I will come across places like this. Most of what I find are simply falling down. Still, I have found a few places that I have loved (until someone tore them down).

Reminds me of this bit of Kipling, which fascinated me when I was small.
