I am always trying to get into abandoned and closed places, but usually they are too closed for me to get in or I am thrown out...This place I have seen before..and I wanted to get in, but couldn't. Its only an empty shell of a building, the facade stands but the insides are completely gone. Now someone with more persistance had opened it up and I could get inside. The feeling of the place was strange, on all sides were high naked concrete walls and on the ground was only grass, a few long plants that were bathing in sunlight (i'll post the pic now), and this old fridge with these beverly hills stickers. There was so little trace of people in there, and the only real trace of someone was this picture...and I found it to be very odd. I remember the series and how me and all my friends wanted to be the carachters because they were so cool!! But I also rememer when it suddenly became embarrassing....when it all faded...to me this is a story of abandonment...abandoned place, abandoned things, abandoned time, abandoned adorement...and traces...

This became very long and I still don't think I am able to explain...i'll post more pics of the place and maybe it will explain for me :-)

i can understand and also feel what you experienced there ...
traces of other people and traces of time - spaces , wide enough
for your own images and for your stories . i can follow that - i
know what you're talking about . it's a fascination i can second -
thanks for your explanation - i'll have a look at the other pics now

Perfect! Its so difficult to explain a sensation.....even if I have pictures to show some of it....it also depend of course a lot on the person you are explaining it to. I know your vivid mind so I had a feeling you would get this :-)

Although you're not confident with this as an explanation, it's at least a good hint, to let us imagine your story behind it. That's maybe all you can hope for. It's actually always like this. . . when we want to share something with others: what we communicate to them is like a faded, bleached or otherwise enstranged copy of our original experience. C´est la vie!
