Is this photograph "The Shape of Things to Come" ?
Is this photograph a celluloid procognition of a future yet to arrive ?
This is the possible future >>>
The Men and Women who are the "modern day pioneers of Urban Exploration today" will someday become the "tour guides of Urban Exploration tomorrow".
And that will be a sad day indeed ! ! !
All of the excitement, danger, dirt and grit of going thru an old abandoned building will be replaced with the safe, clean, boring, dull and drab "state" of a walking tour.
Who knows; maybe Disneyland or KnottsBerry Farm will train people on how to give "walking tours" of old abandoned buildings.
And won't that be pathetic ! ! !
They will probably even charge admission and everything. Why, they might even have an "E - ticket ride". Well, wouldn't that be nice. The patron might even have to sign a waiver form so the company will not get sued by the injured party.
That could be the future....................................
Signed: An American Soldier stationed in Mannheim, Germany.
When by the Ruins oft I past
My sorrowing eyes aside did cast
And here and there the places spy
Where oft I sate and long did lie.
Here stood that Trunk, and there that chest,
There lay that store I counted best,
My pleasant things in ashes lie
And them behold no more shall I.
Under the roof no guest shall sit,
Nor at thy Table eat a bit.
No pleasant talk shall 'ere be told
Nor things recounted done of old.
No Candle 'ere shall shine in Thee,
Nor bridegroom's voice ere heard shall bee.
In silence ever shalt thou lie.
-Anne Dudley Bradstreet, Verses upon the Burning of our House, June 18, 1666
