Having the building in place for so long before the attraction opened added to the mystery...when can we get in...maybe next year.<br /><br />thanks for these great shots.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-24084685287520449192010-03-14T18:13:06.759-07:002010-03-14T18:13:06.759-07:00I am filled with an overpowering sense of forebodi...I am filled with an overpowering sense of foreboding looking at these artful photographs!Vaughnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-65613154047542539852010-03-13T21:05:29.951-08:002010-03-13T21:05:29.951-08:00Lovely.

It was the first time I saw a building that was actually art... not clever, not pretty. Art. And every part of it was beautiful. And every part was beautiful no matter what angle you looked at it, even unexpected angles like UP.<br /><br />In a world of popcorn ceilings, to be young and look up between the pillars into the decorated soffit of the pediment was like looking up at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-51448525498164799462010-03-13T14:07:58.329-08:002010-03-13T14:07:58.329-08:00very cool, like some dark spooky fog was providing...very cool, like some dark spooky fog was providing a moat of sorts around the place....Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-91789540081065384252010-03-13T08:00:22.739-08:002010-03-13T08:00:22.739-08:00Nice closeup of the fence in pic#1 - LOL!
