Okay, the day's still good!

       Yeah, I was being premature. Turns out, seeing smoke coming from a small town in ruins, in the middle of nowhere, is not always a bad sign.

      Actually, this place is pretty cool, I don't feel the need to over exaggerate with exclamation points or anything, it's just plain cool. I don't know who lived here, or what happened to them, but there's a steampunk kinda theme going on. 

       There's tall metal spires with colored glass spirals, the buildings are metallic constructions with gears and wheels and smokestacks, the ground is a mosaic of concrete and glass. This place is awesome!

   I mean, it's also rusted and collapsed, but come on! 

   Actually, it's not too practical to live in. Too much metal. Too much sun. That's where the fire's come from. Every once in a while, sun hits through glass just the right way, or hot metal is leant against a dry branch, and smoke starts curling up. I'm not too worried though, inside a mostly rock canyon, this can't start anything dangerous.

  I hope you get to see this someday, or that you've got something equally cool where you live.

  Also, I'm still smiling! Like really smiling!
