What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like. Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to [email protected] Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to [email protected] Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to [email protected]

Man, I love this picture. The point of view, the arrangement, it gives a huge amount of drama and movement to a still image. Whoever took it has a great eye
I suspect that work on it stopped when someone asked "so, exactly how are we planning to stand it up?"
I would guess there was an untenable crack
We should finish it.
