Deteriorated: A glimpse into the forgotten past. From tension pneumothorax to deserted villages, these hints take us on a journey through time and across continents. In the deserted village of Slievemore, Achill Island, County Mayo, Connacht province in Ireland, we witness the remnants of a once thriving community. The Burrishoole Abbey near Newport tells tales of religious devotion amidst crumbling walls. Across Europe, in Alba Iulia's fortress entrance stands the Hurea, Closca and Crisan Obelisk - weathered but still commanding attention. Further south in Lecce, Italy lies a Roman amphitheatre with its cube-shaped Palazzo del Seggio as an eerie companion. Traveling eastward to Jordan brings us to the ruins of a Crusader Castle - Templar Castle in Kerak; echoes of battles fought long ago whisper through its dilapidated halls. Closer to home in Germany's Thuringia region stands Greifenstein Ruin near Blankenburg - digitally restored from an 1890s photochromic print; it serves as a haunting reminder of history's passage. Paris' Peride takes us back to Greek mythology while Mons Ianiculus offers panoramic views over historical Rome. Speaking of Rome, we explore ancient temples that have succumbed to decay over centuries. The Temple of Venus Genetrix on Caesar's Forum reminds us of grandeur lost while The Temple of Peace on Via Sacra speaks volumes about bygone eras. Finally, we encounter The Temple of Saturn on the Roman Forum - once majestic but now bearing scars from countless restorations. In each location captured by these hints lies evidence that even greatness can fade with time; yet their deteriorated beauty continues to captivate our imaginations.
