Rusted Swing in Roofless Hammam Colmar

Dappled sunlight falls through overhanging tree branches, casting shifting patterns of gold and shadow across a cracked hopscotch grid etched into dry, pale earth. A rusted iron swing set stands abandoned within the hollow shell of a roofless hammam near Colmar, its chains swaying slightly in the breeze. The stone walls, stripped of their original plaster, reveal layers of weathered brick and crumbling mortar under a sky heavy with dramatic, rolling clouds. Dry grass and scattered leaves litter the floor, showing the passage of time. Leading lines formed by the remaining stone arches draw the gaze toward the swing, where a single chain hangs loose against the bright horizon.
