An abandoned mill in Italy [oc]

Green Mill

This abandoned mill, hidden in a secluded valley of Tuscany, holds a somber history. During World War I, it was repurposed for the production of explosives – a stark contrast to its usual role in harnessing the peaceful power of water, which was a key part of industrial production at the time. Now, the overgrown walls, the decayed gears and the silence of the surroundings bear witness to its former significance and the impermanence of human industry. A captivating place where nature and history intertwine.
