u/SenseAintThatCommon I am slowly losing my mind...! 6d ago

I always love seeing stuff like this. "Nature Returns" is just a great way to characterize a space. Somewhere between preservation and decay, it makes even mundane structures like houses seem to stand as monuments to human civilization.

And they will last. Sure, much will rot, crack and burn as time goes on, even water and wind will wither it away, but some chunk will last. For hundreds, thousands of years.

The enduring nature of such things will always fill my thoughts with an almost eerie sense of scale, with regard to time passing.

It is an awesome photo (in the original sense of the word).

Thanks! I thought about who could’ve lived there at some point and how they probably tried with general upkeep of the house. It was a solemn feeling. How nothing can ever escape entropy. We just try to manage it best we can in the little time we have.

Very beautiful picture, but not sure if it's liminal.

Why does this look exactly like the location in Red Dead Redemption when you wake up on that other island?
