#Ruins overrun with life: stone, empty windows, greenness.

View up along the stone wall of a ruined building, revealing three rows of window openings, each containing five arched frames. At top is the shell of a stone roof. Leafy plants and trees fill both the inside and the outside of what was once a splendid structure.

An abandoned pottery factory, somewhere in #France

The small French #pottery works thrived for decades. It remained modest, while competitors expanded and modernised. While this gives the #ruins a quaint charm, it was certainly a major factor in their closure!

Inside, the upper floors have long rows of wooden racks stacked with 100s of moulds. Heavy pieces were moved on wooden carts along a rail system.

Doftana Prison, Romania. This vast fortress-like penitentiary has housed inmates during some of the most turbulent periods in Romania’s history. Today, it stands derelict and collapsing, a haunting reminder of the terrible conditions offenders were once incarcerated in.

A once-grand synagogue, converted into a swimming pool. Now abandoned and decaying. Somewhere in Poland.

Built at the start of the 20th century, this Polish synagogue was stripped and desecrated by Nazi forces, who converted it into a swimming pool for soldiers.

It remained a community pool for 50 years post-war. Now privately owned and hollowed out by a 2023 fire, the building stands as a sad ruin.

Lost civilisation

A vertical black and white photograph taken just above the ground so that it fills the bottom half of the picture. From a clump of bushes emerges an old sculpted stone arch as an entrance to a forgotten temple, or maybe a trans-dimensional portal to another world…

So now you'd better stop
And rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing

(Led Zeppelin - Immigration Song)

So there is this monastery in Lower Austria called Altenburg which is a big baroque building. Some pics have already posted. But under the monastery is the medieval origins you can visit. It's a great experience.

Camera: Leica Q2
Edit: none.

Picture of a gothic window, the remains of a medieval monastery below the baroque new buildings above. It is showing the old center, the cloister. It's broken and restored only with the existing original parts.
Photo is black and white.

Industrial ruins, a delightful mixture of shapes and shadows. Some look like faces; some look like animals. What shapes and forms does your unique imagination see in these scenes?
