Silhouetted Firing Range in Guilin Corridor

Pale sand drifts coat the floor of a crumbling firing range corridor near Guilin, where late autumn vines tangle through broken openings. The structure stands as a dark silhouette against the fading evening sky, its roofline jagged where thorn scrub has taken hold. Blown sand piles against the base of stone walls, against the deep shadows of the empty interior. Wind shifts the hanging vines across the frame, visible as subtle movements in the tangled greenery. The crumbling archway sits off-center, revealing the encroaching vegetation at the edge. A shard of glass embedded in the thorny undergrowth catches the last light.
