Fort Stevens State Park, Oregon

 

I love me a good fort that is for sure.

Growing up I experienced Fort Erie which for me is not as exciting as one of this western forts of maze like concrete wonderfulness.  I can only imagine how these would have sparked my imagination as a kid as they do so now so much so as an adult (or kid pretending to be adult, mistakenly placed in adult body.)  

This is Oregon's Fort Stevens State Park , specifically Battery Russell.

Northern State Hospital Farm 2015

oh dear, it has been awhile since I made a pilgrimage to the farm, things have changed !

Seems Drastic from last visited, hopefully I am not aging quite as badly as this farm.

It's hard to say if people initiated what has occurred, glad I made it before the two roofs had been removed leaving something left without a shadow.

I cried when I walked into it, like my daughter once might have over losing a tower to the dog who figured it was there to be destroyed.

I cried and got it out then photographed and now I am beginning to get that out.... changed pieces of something left to fall apart.
