I stumbled upon this photograph and it instantly brought back mental images I had while reading Paul Bowles' short story The Circular Valley a few years back. (Paul Bowles Collected Stories 1939-1976 is a tremendous read).
"Everything was the same as before, but not for the Atlájala; it had known the existence of man, and now there were no men in the valley - only the abandoned building with its empty rooms to make man's absence more poignant."
