"Humans have been crossing deserts by camel for millennia, sailing seas for a thousand years, climbing mountains for a hundred—the sky is the last great terra incognita for adventurers.." #✈️
—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Wind, Sand and Stars)
“Nietzsche also proposed a second kind of tourism, whereby we may learn how our societies and identities have been formed by the past and so acquire a sense of continuity and belonging.
The person practising this kind of tourism ‘looks beyond his own individual transitory existence and feels himself to be the spirit of his house, his race, his city’.
He can gaze at old buildings and feel ‘the happiness of knowing that he is not wholly accidental and arbitrary but grown out of a past as its heir, flower, and fruit, and that his existence is thus excused and indeed justified'.”
—The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
The plague doctor watches over the forgotten — a striking mural painted on the crumbling walls of the abandoned Beelitz Heilstätten. The decaying plaster merges seamlessly with the artwork, blurring the line between ruin and art.
The Beelitz Heilstätten were opened in 1902 as a sanatorium for pulmonary diseases. During both World Wars, the site served as a military hospital for wounded soldiers. It was subsequently converted into a Soviet military hospital. Among its most notable patients were Adolf Hitler and reportedly Vladimir Putin. For many years now, the buildings have stood empty and have become a popular urban exploration destination for photographers and tourists alike.

“No changing of place at a hundred miles an hour will make us one whit stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, walked they ever so slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thought and sight, not pace”
–Ruskin
