whimsilica:thehotgirlproject:diseonfire:indiaincredible:Step-wells in India by Victoria LautmanSo I clicked through and had a read of the story. It’s worth doing.Step-wells were used as a way to access water, which could fluctuate wildly between almost nothing in the dry season, to overflowing right to the top of the stairwells even, during the monsoon season.Constant pumping however, has dropped the water table, so most of these structures are no longer in use and are being used as rubbish dumps or just left to decay. Victoria Lautman (in 2015 at the time the article was written) has been going around India trying to photograph all of these structures before they disappear.These structures are not for the faint of knees@katedrawscomics That last one reminds me of the Widdershins anchor!Now there’s an image, of magic overflowing form it. -- source link
