This place was lovely in its desolation.
I mean, I’m sure it’s lovely in the summer with the lights on and music and people and ice cream and sunburns or whatever.
But to me, it is hard to improve on a foggy day with no one else around and a convenient opening in a fence that allows a photographer to step inside and enjoy the moment.

Three Toilets
This amusement park has been around forever.
When I was a little kid, my parents took their sixth-grade Sunday School class there. One of the kids threw up on a ride. That’s practically my only memory of the place.
I drive by there every couple of years, and this time I saw three portable toilets. Not that they made me think of throw-up kid or anything like that.
