Where is this? Very beautiful and quite haunting photos.
So sad, yet completely haunting. Not the ‘Crinkly Bottom’ amusement park by any chance?
Magnificent! These will be used for my PhD, if that’s ok.
Are any of these Pripyat?
The Enchanted Forest in Ellicott City, MD is an amazing site. I don’t think these pictures are from that one, however.
This is the kind of thing I could imagine the Joker using as a hideout…
I’ve seen these before. I think they are from Chernobyl
It’s possible that the bumper car picture is from the Pripyat park (Chernobyl region). The rest of them are near-definitely not. The Gulliver pic seemed especially poignant and appropriate.
Catherine - of course…
hats off to this, truly excellent. is it not possible to have just a few sentences from the collector as to the origins and locations?? would increase the effect in a way.
I found what I think might be the Gulliver one online, it said it was a Japanese park
Is the flume River Country at Walt Disney World?
The one labelled simply ‘Tunnel’ is not a tunnel - it is, as one earlier reader pointed out, the ‘Crinkly Bottom’ theme park called ‘Blobbyland’. That photo is one of Mr Blobby’s House - hence the name over the door “Dunblobbin”.
What installation artist could create anything as evocative and haunting as this natural arrangement?
All things must pass. Sobering images indeed.
