The prettiest abandoned theme park you've ever seen
<< Back
Or maybe the only one Jan 10, 2009 at 08:52
Another reason we should all learn Japanese (not just to understand the words smothering all the Japanese artists' websites we've come across but also so I can charm the handsome man at the sushi shop).

These images have been taken in a very clever way: what could have ended up purely syrupy and seen through rose-coloured glasses or entirely creepy and haunted by bad clowns, has ended up somewhere in-between. This photo series of an abandoned theme park in Japan have managed to be sweet and eerie, cute and pretty all at the same time.

Seems like a nice place to get murdered.

I think this series is really sad and melancholy. A rather bleak vision of the future and where society is headed. Kids, put down your games-console controllers, switch off your TVs and go play in the park....

I'd like to learn Japanese but someone keeps telling me I should learn to speak Galliano.

And this is exactly why I need to get out of Canada! There is no way that you would ever come across anything like this. As soon as something gets old or they don't have any room to put something new up, "Hey let's tare something old and cool down, it holds no history at all." Love this set, it gave me chills!
