Skybridge Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I have not had a chance to walk The Abandoned with Sissy since the last round of demolition, which appears to have flattened whatever was left of the buildings.  Above you see part of the old skybridge.  I was thinking about all the memories Sissy and I share--our walks here, our friendship, the way we laughed over the ghost stories people told.  (There are some true-life, hair-raising stories which are actually true.)  Such great memories from this wonderful magical place.

Happy Birthday, Sissy!  Cheers to all the memories yet to be shared over the years ahead!  I love you, Honey.

WARNING: Please do not visit this place unless you have permission. Though the buildings are flattened and the area has nothing to show for what once was--there are survailance cameras in place. I happen to have heard there are pictures on file. The owners are quite determined to identify those who trespass in The Abandoned.

Resolute

A charming memory of what once was stands resolute above an abysmal gray wall of vandalism.

Shadows dance beneath arched walls, still beautiful beneath their scars.

The end of the sky bridge is abrupt and seemingly cold.  Yet one can see small spots of beauty.


WARNING: Anyone wishing to visit The Abandoned, must seek permission from the owners.

Sky Bridge

This is on the Sky Bridge which stretches between the main building and a smaller one.  I took this picture at the far end, looking back toward the main big building at what used to be huge glass double doors.  As you can see, nature is having her way with this place, if someone does not intervene, it will soon be totally overrun with ivy and blackberry brambles.

At the far end and to the left of the Sky Bridge is a HUGE fireplace.  It was once a beautiful work of art, but vandals have taken the bricks, using them to break windows in The Abandoned.

It is a wonderful, fascinating, mesmerizing place, beautiful despite the destruction wrought by vandals and neglect.


WARNING: Anyone wishing to visit The Abandoned, must have permission from the owners.

Shadows of Green

This is the walkway beneath the sky bridge leading from one huge building to the other.  As you can see the ivy is encroaching over the cement and there is an eery green shadowy glow reflecting up on the ceiling.
