Basement Graffiti Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I had forgotten about this odd set of pictures on the wall in the basement area of the now destroyed main building.  What a canvas!  One could find just about anything on those distressed walls.  Some graffiti was beautiful.  This is not beautiful, but it is surely interesting to the eyes.

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Magical Forest Tree Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Last summer I took this picture of the sun sparkling through the trees.  If you look below the sunsparkle, you can see there are several places where the sky comes through the leaves of the forest to form hearts.  It is such a beautiful, magical place.

Sparkle Dewdrop Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

I took this picture on one of my walks through The Abandoned with my darling Sister a few summers ago.   The sparkle at the bottom of the heart seemed magical to me.   When I found it again just now--the magic of that place still has power.

Pretty Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

Just before the destruction of The Abandoned, we found a plethora of hearts had been added in the Swimming Pool area.  How they were able to get up along that wall is a mystery to me.  It sure made for a pretty picture!

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Another Rubble Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

Curiously the last time I was in The Abandoned I could still find hearts in the rubble.

Indeed rubble is all that's left of The Abandoned.  Since this picture was taken these chunks are now just pea gravel!  One can find the neatest agates and rocks in those piles.

Happy Guest Heart Thursday and have a good day!

Remembering the Artists of The Abandoned

Though The Abandoned is now a pile of rubble, I am still in awe of the incredible art once found there. These are only a few of the pictures I've taken over the years.  A big thank you to the Artists of The Abandoned.

From the walls of the swimming pool.

From one of the back rooms.

From the main auditorium.

 

From the end of the swimming pool itself.

Ice Cube Baby is one of my favorites, found in a back room.

Found along a downstairs hallway.


Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

Microscopic Heart March -Guest Heart Thursday

These beautiful lichen are so tiny, I didn't see the hearts until I was able to see them on my computer!  They are so cute.  One thing which cannot be destroyed are the teeniest things in the world.   No matter that this place is now in rubble and ruin--nature will not be thwarted.
