A sample story: granite the colour of old bread, a coracle crossing, and temples in the long grass.

Hampi is a landscape that looks assembled by hand. Boulders balanced with a patience no one now possesses.

We crossed the Tungabhadra in a round coracle, cycled between temples until the light went orange, and sat on a rock that has watched an empire come and go.

This is placeholder sample content.

Reflections

Ruins are cheerful company. They have already survived the worst of their story.
