Over at Slate.com is a fascinating article, with some equally fascinating pictures, concerning…
The article is about Seph Lawless, a photographer who has an interest in this subject matter and has released a book with his photographs of abandoned parks.
My favorite picture, from the article, is probably this one (I say probably because there are other almost equally great ones to be found. This picture, by the way, is from the remains of the “Joyland Amusement Park,” Kansas):
There’s something eerie about seeing these childhood amusement centers abandoned and slowly being overrun with vegetation. It’s like something you could find either in a horror novel or some nostalgic tour through memory lane.
If you’re interested, you should check out the other pictures. They’re fasinating.
