Abandoned Dome Observatory Aventino Rome Autumn

by Dixie Barry

Bright afternoon light floods the interior of a weathered stone observatory dome open to the sky above Aventino Hill in Rome. Heavy, dramatic clouds swirl in deep grays and whites against patches of blue, filling the circular aperture. The thick masonry walls show years of erosion, their rough texture highlighted by sharp shadows. Inside, a rusted metal slit shutter hangs slightly ajar on the curved track. Fallen leaves from early autumn rest on the damp floor, scattered among patches of dry dust and cracked mortar. A thick iron hinge, dark with oxidation, anchors the heavy door mechanism against the curved wall. The perfect symmetry of the opening frames the turbulent sky directly overhead.
