Wonderland, China For those who, like me, can never have too many abandoned theme-park photos. (Navigation arrows are up by the top corners of the photos, and a little hard to see.)
The park was built on the site of an old open-cast coal mine (a strip mine to USians), the lake being the filled-in pit from the mining. It was never up to much and couldn't compete with Alton Towers, the behemoth of UK theme parks, just a few miles away. It was in decline for years before it closed.
OK BP, that is awesome in all the best ways. Really good photographs for the most part, and a great subject. Some place I wish I could go. I wish I had my own secret abandoned place to go and shoot. Especially now that I have Dr Nokton to drag around...
