DO NOT ENTER BUILDING is stenciled on almost all the structures at Camp Hero State Park. It’s a very strange place – dozens and dozens of picnic tables amidst abandoned and barren looking cinderblock buildings and missle bunkers. It looks like a movie set where all civilization has perished – not exactly the place I’d pick to pull out the sandwiches and potato salad! Environmentalists shut down plans to develop a golf course or turn the land over to developers. Supposedly there are plans to build a museum and interpretive center focusing on WWII and the Cold War. It’s going to take a lot of work to get the place in shape – I wonder if I’ll be alive to see it.

This is almost haunting – would be a great scene in a horror movie! Love your treatment of this!
Where were You some Nevada Test site of the 40s??
Do you glow in the dark Now????
Cool shot and more than a bit forbidding, abandoned military instillations are so often spooky.
Very haunting! Great eye to see the possibilities in/on this wall!
The darkness of the photo fits the subject so well. Nice treatment.
With all those abandoned structures, this park looks like a fascinating place for photos. I love the dark broodiness of the photo.
