Here is a list of broken things and ruins that I've come across over time. They are beautiful simply because they are not whole. A thing broken is a thing with history and the baggage you'll find here almost always has an interesting story to keep you at the edge of your seat. A wild crash, a relentless hurricane, a massive volcanic eruption which left an entire city buried in ash, a farmer sunken in poverty after an economic collapse, things abandoned.
