Crumbling Brickworks Chimneys on Ashgabat Quarry Ledge

by Leandro Giles

Late summer sun illuminates the jagged silhouette of abandoned brick chimneys rising from a steep quarry ledge near Ashgabat. Red clay bricks show deep erosion where mortar has washed away, exposing rough inner cores to the air. Low-hanging clouds cast shifting gray shadows across the pale stone ground, against the warm ochre tones of the brickwork. The structure stands with monumental utilitarian force, its vertical stacks leaning slightly against the wind-swept sky. Dry, brittle grass clings to cracks in the foundation stones. Dust motes hang suspended in the bright open daylight above the crumbling masonry. One fracture runs vertically down the nearest stack, revealing the hollow interior against the overcast horizon.
