The Lake, 1951, L.S. Lowry
“The crumbling castle, looming among the mists, exhaled the season, and every cold stone breathed it out. The tortured trees by the dark lake burned and dripped, their leaves snatched by the wind were whirled in wild circles through the towers. The clouds mouldered as they lay coiled, or shifted themselves uneasily upon the stone skyfield, sending up wreathes that drifted through the turrets and swarmed up hidden walls.”
—Titus Groan, Mervyn Peake

The Great Train Graveyard in Uyuni, Bolivia is a unique tourist attraction in addition to the famous salt flats and red lakes. The area is home to a collection of abandoned, vintage trains that were originally intended to expand the transportation network in the early 19th century. However, due to technical challenges and conflicts with local indigenous communities, the project was never completed. The trains were later used to transport minerals to port cities, but when the mineral resources depleted in the 1940s, the miners left and the trains were left to deteriorate in the desert. Over time, exposure to salty winds has caused the trains to corrode, creating the fascinating landscape of the Great Train Graveyard that exists today.
