Empty indoor gymnasium with wooden walls, a basketball hoop, and a multicolored floor.

Abandoned Gymnasium

Pyramiden, Svalbard

The faded paint of the basketball court glows under slanted Arctic light, echoing with the silence of a game that ended long ago. The net hangs in tatters, and the wooden bleachers wait for cheers that will never come. Once a temple of Soviet athletic pride, this gym now feels like a dream paused mid-motion—colorful, worn, and suspended in a silence more profound than defeat.
