Nice shot- a cross between forgotten and decay.

Good to know where it is and think about the history.

@joansmor @olivetreeann @randystreat @koalagardens thank you for commenting on this image. The history around Oradour-sur-Glane is one of humanities darkest stories. This is the remains of a baby's pram. That baby, other children, mothers and other women were shot and killed in an arson attack in the church , whilst their men folk were rounded up and murdered. This is Wikipedia's description of what happened. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oradour-sur-Glane_massacre

@marshwader Such a sorrowful place when you know the history.

@olivetreeann Yes it is. When I visited it was a sublime day and only when you just looked below the surface at the abandoned prams, sewing machines and cars could you see the tragedy. I have read a lot about it since. I am revisiting these images again as I now have much better post processing skills. I hope to use them for an AV, but I am quite a novice at AVs, and it takes a bit of time!

The derelict feels sad, but the lush green trees feel hopeful. Interesting juxtaposition.
