These photographs of an abandoned amusement park are hauntingly beautiful. I'm completely mesmerized by them. I can even hear the distant laughter and roller-coaster screams. There is something nostalgic, yet sad about these images. The photos are also somehow comforting. This park was once a bustling joy of fun, yet it still remains even more beautiful and serene than before.So lovely, plus you know how I love to post about abandoned spaces.

Wow! These are crazy beautiful. Definitely sad, though haunting and gorgeous. Great finds!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos, Diana! But holy creepy :) The perfect scene for a horror clip!
ReplyDeleteWheeee!
wow! Eerily fantastic :)
ReplyDeletethere is something there that attracts me as well...many memories, long gone happy days.. I can almost hear the little voices...
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love the carousel with the puddle of water, and the brush growth behind it. Nature always finds a way to make it through.
ReplyDeleteoh i feel just the same way. there's something simultaneously beautiful and sad about seeing a place frozen in time and abandoned - you can almost picture the activity that used to happen there, like you said... but you know that it never will happen again; its time has passed.
ReplyDeleteEven though it is sad in ways, I still adore shots like these.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i can hear the sounds of the merry go round. so eerie and curious.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an intriguing study. The ferris wheel and the foggy coaster tracks are beautiful. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos! Very compelling.
ReplyDeleteI remember as a girl going roller skating at a rink right by an old abandoned amusement park. The visual of that ancient wood roller coaster, jutting up out of the trees and silhouetted against the evening sky, was so fascinating to me!
Wow - really cool photos! Kind of sad, yes. I love the ferris wheel one.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved photos like these!
ReplyDeleteWhat a find...but I agree with Julia on the whole creepy part!!
ReplyDeletegreat photos! there's something a bit eerie and sad about them. it's amazing how one place that brought so much joy is now abandoned and forgotten.
ReplyDeletestunning photos. but something that completely creeps me out about them.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos... love them! You can let your imagination go wild... old stories to tell... FUN!
ReplyDeleteYour words are right on with these images. It's like a ghost town; but the colors and the shapes are lovely. What a juxtaposition!
ReplyDeleteI can almost here the ghostly sounds of laughter...haunting and very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally dig these! I've been taking a lot of photos of abandoned NJ boardwalk attractions. I love the history.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Diana.
ReplyDeleteso incredible--i love these...esp the roller coaster in the mist. you describe them so well...
ReplyDeletei have to say that my camera and i seem to flock to such places.....but the images here are so stunning and haunting........i can't stop staring at them. I have a love for abandoned spaces, last year we drove though an abandonned town, curtains still blew in the wind
ReplyDeleteand pools still had half inflated beach balls..........a feeling that is hard to describe.
theses photo's are just amzing.
These photos are so cool, you can the park longing for someone to come and play.
ReplyDeleteThese photos give me the willies. You know there are ghosts hiding somewhere inside this amusement park! Beautiful photos though. You're right, definitely haunting and sad.
ReplyDeleteHaunting, beautiful, and moody. I loved each one.
ReplyDeleteI love them...wish they were for sale...I'd swipe them right up.
