This is the 2nd of 3 posts from a recent trip back home to New York. My brother invited me to explore the abandoned Kings Park Psychiatric Center. The psychiatric center was built on 800 acres of land. We only explored a tiny portion of the property and its buildings. This post focuses more on the incredible artwork that is very much a part of this abandoned landscape.
Took a long ride and ended up in one of my favorite spots: The Marseilles Ruins, in Marseilles, Illinois.
The last image from a wonderful motorcycle ride last August with a friend that featured a stop in beautiful South Haven. You are looking at the catwalk that leads to the lighthouse.
Moving away from the shore and back to my home town for a series – if 4 is a series – of images of the church I grew up in. This is the old St. Raphael’s Church in East Meadow, NY. The parish has built a beautiful, modern sanctuary and this is all that remains of the St. Raphael’s of my childhood. The structure is in the shape of an “L”, with the altar right at the lower left corner where the horizontal and vertical lines of an “L” meet. This is taken from the alter looking at the longest part of the sanctuary.
Another favorite spot along the I & M Canal. This beautiful barn looks great all year long.
The second of three images from a favorite location of mine. The “snow disks” from the previous post are at the bottom right corner, just out of the frame of this picture. This is the locktender’s house at the Aux Sable Access along the Illinois and Michigan Canal.
I guess you can say that I have grown fond of this building. I have taken a few shots of it in the dead of winter, but this is what it looks like in the summer. (Still trying to find a way in to take some interior pictures. Shhhhh….) 🙂
On my recent trip to St. Lucia I was fortunate to see this beautiful church in the town of Laborie. While waiting for our student team to arrive for a school visit, I went over and took some photos of the Parish of St. Lucia. I was in a rush, so they did not turn out as I had hoped, but I felt this one captured the simple beauty of this old church.
