abandoned..

I saw this abandoned structure sometime at night in Mussoorie and I was totally spooked out because there was absolutely no body to be seen near this place. It was scary. The next morning, I went for an early morning walk and passed by this building and I really wanted to take a picture but because of the high boundary walls, I could see only the top half of it. So I climbed the fence and got this shot of the early morning light illuminating this beautiful but abandoned building. -- About Mussoorie: Mussoorie is a city and a municipal board, about 34 km from Dehradun and in Dehradun district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. This hill station, situated in the foothills of the Himalaya ranges, is also known as the Queen of the Hills. The adjoining town of Landour, which includes a military cantonment, is considered part of 'greater Mussoorie', as are the townships of Barlowganj and Jharipani. About Mussoorie: Uttarakhand, formerly Uttaranchal, is a state located in the northern part of India. It is often referred to as the Land of Gods due to the many holy Hindu temples and cities found throughout the state, which are some of Hinduism's most spiritual and auspicious places of pilgrimage and worship. Known for its natural beauty, it was carved out of Himalayan and adjoining north-western districts of Uttar Pradesh on 9 November 2000, becoming the 27th state of the Republic of India. It borders the Tibet Autonomous Region on the north, Nepal on the east and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh to the south, Haryana to the west and Himachal Pradesh to the north west. Source Wikipedia
