This photograph sort of reminds of the movie National Lampoons "Vacation". The part when the Griswold family finally make it to Walley World only to find out that the amusement park is closed down for two weeks for cleaning and repairs. The moose is holding the sign. And Mr. Griswold (Chevy Chase) punches the moose in the nose.

Wind Farm

Somebody help ! Mr. Mellow Yellow is being crushed to death !

The graveyard of old style boxy monitors.

It looks like Jessie will need help from Woody and his trusty steed Bullseye.

Hi Jessie ! Where is Woody ?

The ceiling looks very clean.

"The Tears Of A Clown"


Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey, that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Really, I'm sad
Oh, I'm sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad

Now there's some sad things known to man
But ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around

Oh yeah, baby

Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
In order to shield my pride I've tried
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness

But don't let my show convince you
That I've been happy since you
Decided to go
Oh, I need you so
I'm hurt and I want you to know
But for others I put on a show

Oh, there's some sad things known to man
But there ain't too much sadder than
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around, oh yeah

Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my sadness hid
Smiling in the public eye
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
When there's no one around

Oh yeah, baby

Now if there's a smile on my face
Don't let my glad expression
Give you the wrong impression
Don't let this smile I wear
Make you think that I don't care
Really, I'm sad
Hurtin' so bad

Send in the Clowns

"Send In the Clowns" is a song written by Stephen Sondheim in 1973 for the musical "A Little Night Music"

Isn't it rich, are we a pair
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don't you love a farce,
My fault I fear,
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear!
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns
What a surprise,
Who could foresee?
I'd come to feel about you
What you felt about me?
Why only now when I see
That you've drifted away?
What a surprise...
What a cliché...
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here

Yosemite Sam says: Build a wind farm !

Poor Taz is just all broken up because they closed down the amusement park.

Maybe they could turn these old abandoned amusement parks into wind farms.

In the political contest between the floor and the wall and the ceiling: the votes are all in now. And we have a winner. The floor has won by a landslide.

It looks like the ceiling will collapse first before the floor does.

A young and nimble male or female track and field college athlete might be able to make this jump only one time but I would say that the odds are highly against it.
