The City of Lamentation

Inspired by the work of Max Ernst.

Travelogue.

Where places that have fallen and decayed, or constants

that have met their untimely end. There they will stand,
again.
For in a neighbouring space, existing on top of the
original reality. Buildings and cultural artefacts stand
invisible to all but a few.
Those who collect what is lost, savage what little
wreckage can be saved, and fix those tall buildings in the
realm of Lamentation.
Where in the midst of frustration, sadness and
regression enough is saved to soften the blow, and to
be studied for years to come. It can be learnt from all that
had made them before, and all the memories they still
hold of those people who visited, or lived there for years
before.
