The Best Ruins Spots Near me

I went with the family for a day trip to Burg Eltz on the last day of the castle being open for the season. We just went on that that day by pure luck I must admit.

Despite most postcards featuring photos from this area, it is barely standing! Trees grow from every tower and each step needs to be taken with care. Nature has taken over. It all makes for a very authentic experience though. You are walking along thousands of years of history. It isn’t clean or stable but it is the original wall. Each stone was laid by hand.

I had been here when I was 15, back in 2005, but they’ve opened up SO MUCH more of the site since - I wasn’t prepared for the huge walk around the site haha, very warm day too. I’ve used one of Annie Spratt’s presets to give this photo a bit of extra depth, looks pretty good I think!

These vistas served as the domain for the precursors of the modern nation. As I tread the same path of the natives before me, I can not help but feel baffled by the primitive complexity in carving a village through the side of a cliff, leaving me reflecting on the capabilities of human resourcefulness.

We stumbled upon this overgrown, abandoned Spanish mill while trekking in the mountains above Huaraz, Peru.

The ruined city of Jerash is Jordan's largest and most interesting Roman site, and a major tourist draw card. Its imposing ceremonial gates, colonnaded avenues, temples and theaters all speak to the time when this was an important imperial center.
