Abandoned Theme Parks

Although I find abandoned theme parks creepy on so many levels, if I had to visit one I would probably visit Nara Dreamland in Nara, Japan. It's still amazingly creepy, but there are some great photo opportunities there.

The entrance to the park would be a good place to shoot, as well as the princess castle. The former pride and joy of the park, The Aska, would also be great. The main thing I'd want to take pictures of, however, would be examples of nature growing over the rides. Other places that would be interesting to take pictures of could be abandoned asylums, very old graveyards, abandoned water parks, abandoned cities, and maybe even abandoned schools.

Matthew Christopher is a photographer who did a photo shoot called, "Abandoned America".

In his photo shoot, he went all over America taking pictures of abandoned hospitals, government facilities, graveyards etc. I think it would be fun to go take pictures of abandoned places like Christopher did. I find it interesting because I love to explore and in these places you get to discover all sorts of things from the past. I would get to take all sorts of photos that have some relation to the past. I could get photos of nature taking over a building or a crumbling building. I'd need a camera
