In early November my best friend Leah and I stumbled upon this old abandoned theme park in Dartmouth, Mass. Is it by far the most terrifyingly beautiful place I have visited in all the world. It was built in the late eighteen hundreds and closed down in the 80's due to death and debt. It was hauntingly eerie but well worth the trip.

    All photos are wonderful. I love all pictures, but the 9th is my favorite, I love clowns. You’re a really great. Congratulations, perfect photos.
    Mia, I made a collection (for dolls) with the theme "Toys in the Attic." I'm your fan and your entire family. In the darkest moments of my life, lyrics of Steven brought me light. I would be very happy if you looked at the photos. It's just a small tribute to those who bring me much happiness. http://dulcetyler.com/site/?page_id=31&album=2&gallery=11
    Again, congratulations on the great work. I love you.

    It's sad, that place is, so forgotten. So left over. and yet, so beautiful. That's what I think anyway.

    I'm new here. And loving it.

    I really like your work! Your color seems very saturated, which I enjoy. Did you do it in post production? Your crops are nice too. Where they in camera?
    I am a photographer too, sarahviera.com. I would love to hear what you think.

    I think TAPS should investigate that place! With that history I bet there are ghosts there!

    I think these are beautiful and insightful pictures. You see art where others see an eye sore. Beautiful. I'll be watching for more of your photography.
