Nice. It is a cool looking hall, I dig the colors a lot. In this shot it has a creepy feel to it. Which his cool by me. Makes exploring all the more fun. Those who have been there in person are lucky, and I can only hope that the buildings stick around for a while in good shape so that others can explore them as well.

I agree, and natural frame of it implies that it is "locked in" somehow. Resigned to it's fate of decay unable to reverse course. Motts I have not read a biography or anything have you taken classes or are you self taught?

Well done, it really looks like an ancient castle turret than anything else. I think the angle lends to the sense of power and strength, and the growth implies that it has withstood nature and time. A very nice shot.

Great use of Black and white here, I missed this one the first time I looked through.

Amazing shot, I really love the angle and the composition. Perfect time of your as well, the dead grass gives the image just what it needs.

Seems odd because they are at first asking for rescue, then offering to rescue another. You free me, and I will free you. If someone could free them, why would they need to return the favor.. If you follow my meaning. Open the door and everyone goes free. No need to fetch the police.

What an amazing shot, I really like this one. Perfect for the last shot as well. It is an end, but implies there is more yet to discover. Setting up a return trip perhaps? Love the colors, and how the dust has collected in the corner.

All I know is those horror rides have some pretty out there themes and scenes in them. No wonder so many people from my generation have mental health issues requiring medications. I was a perfectly normal kid before I saw a woman in a black dress chained to the wall beaten and cut up in a fun house waiting for god knows what fate to befall her.

Funny story.

In one of these rides I actually struck one of the "live action" guys who they would regularly have come and hassle your car as you rode through for added fright factor. I was with my girlfriend (now wife) and he was horrified, and they just kept at it despite my asking them to back off multiple times. I am not a violent person at all, but he was actually on the front of the car we were in, and something about her being afraid, the noise of the "fun house", and the scenes all around me must have just triggered a fight or flight reaction.

I had a major confrontation with the carnies outside the ride when it was over.

Not a pretty date to say the least.

Nice shot reminds me of the shining for some reason.

I think shots that capture motion in time are excellent, and of course a genre unto itself. You did a fine job.

You can recreate it but that moment will never exist again.
