I love how this article blends real-world locations with a speculative future. Your description of nature reclaiming human made structures is both beautiful and slightly eerie.

Happy Friday eve!

Thanks, Neela! They say write what you know about, so I started with locations I know ☺️ and then imagined them in the future.

I try to stick to walkways and car paths in cemetery for the same reason! Thanks for the recommendation—I’ll check it out!

Thanks for the shoutout!

Your mention of the cemetery reminded me of a cathedral we just visited in the Netherlands. The entire floor was stone grave covers. Usually in a cemetery I try to avoid stepping on the graves, but there was no way to avoid it in this cathedral.

I also love when structures are reclaimed by nature. Have you read The World Without Us by Alan Weisman? It inspired the art in two of my favorite video games, The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn.
