What Draws Us?
Amusement park fairway.
What draws us to abandoned places?
Anthrochica scales barbed wire fence.
We are looking for something. Why else risk the consequence of going where we've been told not to?
Children's Theater
These places no longer serve their makers.
Now they have taken a life of their own, an ephemeral one that will be erased by time and progress.
Teacups
Dramas of the past have transpired in these very spaces.The only thing separating us from them is time.
Ball Toss
Bumper Cars
We bear the responsibility of making a record before their passing.
Snack Bar
We're not breaking into buildings. We're breaking into the past.
Gift Shop
We're distant observers hearing an echo of what was.
Miniature Golf Course Fountain
With the right frame of mind we can tap the spirit of the previous visitors.
Coaster cars, protected from the weather by a tarp.
Sometimes modest and sometimes grand, abandonments deserve awe and respect.
Soon these places will only exist in our memories and photographs.
