Stone worn
Overgrown
Pristine thorns
Sheep shorn
Tinkling below
Roofless walls
Rooks overlook
I told you so
Babbles the brook
- Samuel Menashe, "Ruins"
about me
- If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time. ~ Marcel Proust

It's actually the ruins of Halcyon Hall, the main building of a women's college in Millbrook, NY that closed in 1978. It really does look like some fictional setting for a novel or film - very creepy and haunted!

I have to confess, I adore old abandoned buildings, and this is one of the most haunting and atmospheric photos I've seen of one. I'd love to go there someday!
