Winter dusk at Cold War silo ruin Turkey

by Sue Mathews

Rust-colored iron plates of a massive blast door hang slightly ajar, revealing the dark throat of a forsaken missile silo. Winter light fades quickly across the stone floor, casting long, sharp shadows through the open entrance. Outside, brittle nettles and fallen branches surround toppled concrete columns that lie scattered like broken teeth. The air inside feels still, yet the wind visibly shivers through the empty chambers, caught in the movement of hanging debris. Deep blue twilight settles on the horizon, against the warm, dying orange glow hitting the rough concrete textures. One patch of frost rests on the metal hinge at the base of the heavy door.
