Only one wall left of an old water mill at Vergelegen Wine Estate. A rather "wobbly" 300 year old wall.

Remains of a lost tower in the Ebro Delta, a wetland that allows you to enter the water. The sunrises and sunsets that I spent there were spectacular.
Restos de una torre perdida en el Delta del Ebro, un humedal que permite adentrarse en el agua. Los amaneceres y atardeceres que pasé allí fueron espectaculares.
The remains of whaling are everywhere in Svalbard. The bones of these great beasts, bleached ashen white, lie piled high on the beaches where they fell. Standing amidst such desecration, I can hardly bear to look at them. I turn away and photograph an abandoned boat, its hull leaden grey, a ghost that haunts the beaches still. It seems to me the mountains should be wreathed in angry cloud beneath a dark and brooding sky. Instead the sun shines and the mountains sleep. Nature does not mourn, I think to myself. The days pass. The seasons turn. Bones and boats will one day fall to dust. I wonder, when they are gone, will whales still cross the oceans? I hope so.

Dunstanborough Castle from Embleton Beach. A dull and windy day but I loved the light reflecting off the wet sand, which seemed redder than usual.
Remains of the south-east gateway of the Medieval wall that surrounded the community of Lincoln Cathedral in the 13th century.
The city of Lincoln sits on the eastern side of England approximately 150 miles north of London, originally an important Roman town called Lindum colonia, which had developed from an Iron Age settlement.
Lincoln's major landmarks are Lincoln Cathedral, a fine example of English Gothic architecture and Lincoln Castle, an 11th century Norman castle.
All that remains of Alnwick Abbey, the Gatehouse.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alnwick Abbey was founded as a Premonstratensian monastery in 1147 by Eustace fitz John near Alnwick, England, as a daughter house of Newhouse Abbey in Lincolnshire. It was dissolved in 1535, refounded in 1536 and finally suppressed in 1539. The Alnwick Abbey site is located just within Hulne Park, on the bank of the River Aln. The only visible remnant is the impressive 14th-century gatehouse, a Grade I listed building.

Remains of the vault of the Church of San Martín de Tours in the town of Belchite.
Belchite is a town in the province of Zaragoza, autonomous region of Aragon, Spain.
At the end of the bloody Spanish civil war (1936-1939), which was the prologue to the Second World War, it became a symbol of the cruelty of war by order of General Franco.
The bloody fighting that took place here, house by house, with several changes of hands throughout the war, had a more political than strategic purpose, with a great cost of human lives and military resources.
General Franco's decision to turn it into a symbol of the cruelty of war, led to the order not to restore the damaged city and to build a "new" city.
But the truth is that the real damage, which is the cause of the current state of the "old" city, was caused from 1964, when the tenants of the last inhabited houses moved to the new Belchite.
From that moment on, the ruins of the houses, completely unprotected, were looted to take recyclable materials, as well as scrap metal, pipes, cables...
The lack of materials that provided support for the old buildings caused collapses.
The inclement weather, the lack of respect of the people in general and the lack of interest of the national authorities to at least preserve what exists, lead us to the current state.
In reality, the fighting during the war had only caused 30% of the damage.
Restoration campaigns are being carried out on the most significant buildings that are still standing.
The entire area is now fenced and protected and visits can only be guided, which are coordinated by the local authority.
The concept of a "Theme Park" came too late.
This ruined church of Saint Martin of Tours was used as a hospital, but was systematically bombed when word spread that weapons and ammunition were stored there.
Given the state of this ruined city, many films and documentaries have been shot, including "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" directed by Terry Gilliam (1988) and "Pan's Labyrinth" directed by Guillermo del Toro (2005). (Source: Wikipedia)
RESTOS DE LA BOVEDA DE LA IGLESIA, 2022
(Del archivo de mis propias fotos, 2022)
Restos de la bóveda de la Iglesia de San Martín de Tours de la localidad de Belchite.
Belchite es un pueblo en la provincia de Zaragoza, región autónoma de Aragón, España.
Al terminar la sangrienta guerra civil española (1936-1939), que fue el prólogo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se convirtió por orden del General Franco en símbolo de la crueldad de la guerra.
Los cruentos combates que se celebraron aquí, casa por casa, con varios cambios de manos a lo largo de la guerra, tenían una finalidad más política que estratégica, con gran coste de vidas humanas y recursos militares.
La decisión del General Franco de convertirla en un símbolo de la crueldad de la guerra, provocó la orden de no restaurar la ciudad dañada y construir una ciudad "nueva".
Pero lo cierto es que los auténticos destrozos, que son los causantes del estado actual de la ciudad "vieja" se provocaron a partir de 1964, cuando los inquilinos de las últimas casa habitadas se trasladaron a la nueva Belchite.
A partir de ese momento las ruinas de las casas, totalmente desprotegidas, fueron saqueadas para llevarse materiales reciclables, así como chatarra, tuberías, cables...
La falta de los materiales que aportaban apoyo a las viejas construcciones provocaron derrumbamientos.
Las inclemencias meteorológicas, la falta de respeto de la gente en general y la falta de interés de las autoridades nacionales por al menos preservar lo existente, nos llevan al estado actual.
En realidad, los combates de la guerra sólo habían causado el 30% de los daños.
Se están llevando campañas de restauración de los edificios más significativos que aún quedan en pie.
Todo el recinto está ahora vallado y protegido y las visitas sólo pueden ser guiadas, que son coordinadas por la autoridad local.
El concepto de "Parque Temático" llegó demasiado tarde.
Esta arruinada iglesia de San Martín de Tours fue usada como hospital, pero sistemáticamente bombardeada, al correrse la voz de que allí se almacenaba armamento y munición.
Dado el estado de esta ciudad arruinada, se han rodado múltiples películas y documentales, entre las que destacan "Las Aventuras del Barón de Munchausen", dirigida por Terry Gilliam (1988) y "El Laberinto del Fauno" dirigida por Guillermo del Toro (2005). (Fuente: Wikipedia)
The remains of what was once a hunting and whaling cabin on Danmark Ø, strategically overlooking the mouth of Fonfjord and the distant Volquaart von Kyst moutains on the Gaseland penninsula where it meets Scoresby Sund, East Greenland. Until recently people from the Thule culture lived on the island and remains of their rock and turf winter houses can be seen near the old cabin.

Part of the buildings established in the 1850's by Milton Faver, this was the first Anglo-American ranch in the big bend. Three quadrangular fortresses - Cibolo, La Morita and Cienaga - were the first line of defense against raiding Apaches.
While wandering the grounds of the parkland at Harper's Ferry West Virginia we came across the remains of an old garden bed. Not very large and with a homemade fence around it, only parts of it still standing and what looked like a small chicken coop at one end of it. I found it sad that it was abandoned. But wondered things, like did the size indicated by the remaining fence produce enough food for a good sized family?
From this morning walk. It was finally not super sunny with a little bit of clouds early in the morning which is my favorite type of weather for photography.

Face Brick Co.
The brick company was founded in 1914 as the Baker Clay company. The factory bought 50 acers of land along the river from the Walker farm at the corner of West Main and Tallman Road on the northside. The plant featured a continuous kiln design. Unlike the bee-hive design, the continous kiln allowed heat from one kiln be used to preheat the next adjoining kiln. The plant was founded to produce glazed silo tile. Many silos in Michigan and Ohio were made from these silo tile. However cement silos soon replaced the tile. The plant soon switched to brick production. The Grand Ledge Face Brick Co. was owned for a time by the Briggs Company in Lansing, later the plant was sold t the Lincoln Brick company. The plant was closed in 1947. In 1975 the land, now grown to 90 acers, was sold to Eaton County. The site is now Lincoln Brick Park. Grand Ledge brick was used to build the Grand Ledge Library, Grand Ledge Post Office, Grand Ledge City Hall (built as the Catholic Church) and Sawdon School. Sawdon School is made from a blend of bricks called "Old Rose Mission" that was extremely popular.
