This amazing new piece of artwork was titled " Project Mayhem" and was painted at the bottom of The Abandon's empty pool.
Sissy caught a picture of me as I took a closer look. There's a feeling of magic echoing through the room.
Here's a view of what I was seeing.
There were other pieces of art on those walls. This one says, "Reveal."
On another wall, we see a graceful rendition of the name, "Tech."
Above is another photo of the incredible artwork we found in the main auditorium. It says, "Save the Dream." This piece was done a few months ago. I find it interesting that others who graffiti obscene things in this place have not touched these marvelous pieces. Perhaps they recognize the true artistry found here. I wish there were a way to save them.
What is it about The Abandoned which draws a person to it? Perhaps it is the utter beauty, desolation, hope and brokenness found there. It seems it might be somewhat like walking through the halls of old Rome--these abandoned beautiful ruins.
NOTE: If you intend to visit The Abandoned, be sure to get
permission from the owners first. If you do not have permission you may face arrest and prosecution for trespassing.

Oh sissie! What beautiful pictures. I agree with the feeling at The Abandoned. Such beauty - such ugliness. I also find it amazing that these works of art haven't been painted over or even touched by the vandals that have destroyed almost everything else.
