Claustra 373

Left and right, up and down, old and new, curves and lines. Life is replete with opposites and in symmetrical pictures such as this a fair number of those contrasting relationships can be seen. Another might be occupied and abandoned, the defining contrast of urbex photos, that dynamic inspiring wonder about who once lived here, what they did there, why they left and if anyone will come back. Pristine and decrepit is yet another duality represented in this photograph, the former being one that will maintain only if properly kept up, the latter able to remain indefinitely until someone either resurrects the property or nature takes it over once and for all.
