'Abandoned Beauty- To notice the beauty of things left behind is to see the soul of the life it once lived.' Heather Durren.

As a young child on journeys out of the capital heading towards the west of the island. I would look out of the car window and identify the abandoned terminal in the distance. It would only appear for a matter of moments as the main road west deviated away from the airport. I would question relatives about it and its past. The airport sits on the West side of the divided capital city and has sat dormant and abandoned since hostilities on Cyprus ended in August 1974.
