A beautiful Autumn morning. An incredible sky. The sense of ending is palpable.

An end to summer, an end to how things were.

Empty buildings, abandoned streets. We are so small what is happening to us can't be called urban decay. We can call it unwinding, or transmutation.

Whatever it is, it leaves one wistful.
