   Whenever I’m hiking and come across something like this I immediately start to unwind time and imagine when those bricks were laid, and who laid them, and then the untold feet that stepped through that threshold into a structure they thought would be there forever. These small, quiet Ozymandias moments always puts me in a thoughtful mood.

   Gates of time comes to mind. Quietly provoking.

   Thanks for bringing back a bit of 1968 psychedelica, I needed this.

   @MarkedMan:
   Indeed.
   I think: what was that place, who laid those bricks, and why?
   Why did it it fall into decay?

   Large parts of Britain are full of the relics of the Industrial Age, now quietley eroding, that were once the focus of people’s lives.
   Like visiting Rome, perhaps, if less imperiously impressive.

   Neil Young, perhaps?
