Abandoned Observatory Dome in Goa Late Morning in on a wind-scoured research platform in Goa

Abandoned Observatory Dome in Goa Late Morning

by George McGowan

Dappled sunlight falls through overhead foliage, painting shifting patches of gold and shadow across the rusted metal skin of an abandoned observatory dome. The structure sits motionless on a weathered research platform in Goa, its heavy telescope tube frozen in a vertical position pointing toward the sky. Condensation beads along the cold, gray metal housing, clinging to seams and rivets in the humid turn of the seasons. Converging lines of the surrounding railing and structural beams draw toward a distant vanishing point beyond the dome. The white paint peels in strips, revealing oxidized iron beneath, while green leaves from nearby trees press close against the dark, silent machinery.
