This is very much the kind of place I liked to play as a child when given the chance. A green and leafy glade, with stairs to run up and down and an archway for dramatic entrances. I would have figured out ways to "stage" Robin Hood or sumthin'....
See the lights, in the night sky...
This one makes me want to listen to a Ryuichi Sakamoto album. So I am.

Ryuichi Sakamoto is awesome. I got into him when I was about 12...the guys in Duran Duran liked him.
These pictures are beautiful. Perhaps it sounds gauche, but I'm putting them in my wallpaper folder. What funny times we live in, eh...
The guys in Pet Shop Boys liked him too.
His BTTB album is extraordinarily beautiful.

What an awesome place that would be for a kid to play! I'd have invented all kinds of stories about the history of the place...who built it, and why it's in ruins...
I was really taken with both of those first two pictures, too. Wonderful choices, sir! :)
