Very cool exhibit. I love the feeling of whimsey, retro sci-fi, and touch of kawaii in an otherworldly setting.
It's important to use regional windlight or personal windlight to get that purple sky that Cica Ghost put in. You're not going to find it in the regular list of sky windlights.
I tried to do a youtube livestream walking through Cica Ghost's exhibit using the Black Dragon viewer for the first time. And while I experienced the walk through perfectly with everything rezzing for me fast-- no greys and smooth animations, for some reason the livestream wasn't buffering so it ended up looking like I was jumping from picture to picture except at the very end when the livestream started to catch the actual walking. It's too bad because there were some cool animations there and I liked the dance at the end. Not sure what the glitch was. I'm new at machinima for longer than 2-10 minutes.

I do like the black dragon viewer -- loads fast. Not sure what the glitch was in the livestream tho but things rezzed for me quickly. It also has a lot of shortcut commands for the camera and actions which I hope to use more often in filming as I become familiar with the black dragon.
Not all of the towns in this region of Italy are so pretty. Consider Craco, a ghost town. It was finally abandoned after the 1980 Irpinia earthquake, but it had long been declining, starting with a series of landslides that were provoked by poor engineering of infrastructure, sewer and water systems. In 1972 a flood worsened the situation, preventing a possible repopulation of the historic center.
Ghost Ranch is a 21,000-acre retreat and education center located close to the village of Abiquiú in Rio Arriba County in north central New Mexico, United States. It was the home and studio of Georgia O'Keeffe, as well as the subject of many of her paintings. Wikipedia - We just returned from a long weekend in Santa Fe, NM

A group of ghostly looking white bark pines cling to the steep mountain side of Mount Henry along the Scenic Point Trail in East Glacier. Roughly one mile from the trailhead hikers enter a ghost forest of dead whitebark pines, the result of white pine blister rust, a fungal disease that was accidentally introduced from Europe around 1900.
It's almost 10pm and a deserted Exeter Central sees the arrival of a pair of DMUs with Pacer 143618 leading.
The train is in fact an empty stock repositioning move from platform 3 running under the headcode 5E57. It will shortly depart from this platform (2) as the 9.55pm to Exeter St Davids (2E57). The unit on the back is Sprinter 150265.
I selected this frame from the sequence because of the way the driver was highlighted while the front-end remained largely in shadow.
I've switched commenting off for this one.

Holy Ghost graveyard, taken for 'Saturday Self Challenge': "Moody"
For a small local graveyard it has quite a history, dating back to around 1200. 'The Voice of Cricket' John Arlott was the son of the cemetery keeper and lived in the keeper's house for many years. It has a lot of notable inhabitants, amongst others: John Liddle a WW1 recipient of the Victoria Cross, Thomas Burberry founder of the Burberry clothing empire, and Mrs Blunden who was buried alive here (twice), leading to the Victorian fashion of having some kind of external alarm that could be operated from inside a coffin.
See me
Hear me
Speak to me
Crawl deep inside me
Feel me
Hold me
Touch me
Lay beside me
As light as a feather you flew through my room
Were you an angel, or devil?
Shall I ever know?
You went by sunset, never stayed till dawn
Some say you're a demon
But somehow I don't care at all
Just like a ghost who keeps following me
Wherever I'll go
Wherever I'll be
Every night this memory revives in me
So reach your hands, reaching out to be
Hear me calling, calling now
And let me see you're still around
No time to waste my strength goes down
So hurry up, hurry now
I feel your power reaching now to me
Crawl inside and be
I wanted to tell this dog, it's okay, buddy. It's safe to go inside. They have the best charred Brussels sprout tacos, and no real ghosts. Honest! ;)
Ghost Crabs (Ocypode Quadrata). Focus stacked for 70+. Made the background come out odd but over all I like the result
Ghost brides wear black b/c wearing white would be like, you know, why bother.
This is a real photo of a real person, obviously digitally manipulated....with some flourishes added.
It's here. It's Halloween. :-))
I thought I'd close with a not so creepy photo....and least I hope not creepy. (remember, she's real ;-)
This concludes my run of the Halloween Horror Follies. I again thank you all for the views and comments and faves.
It's been a lot of fun for me being able to share them with you. And you've been enormously kind, supportive and likewise fun.
I'm going to now take a little break from Flickr for just a bit.
Happy Halloween (or whatever) and with that I send you all my most sincere, heartfelt, fondest BOO!!!
I composed this image of an abandoned historic farm building while visiting the hamlet of Rowley, Alberta (population 11), a place now characterized as an Alberta ghost town.
For those interested, the history of this town is presented below.
Rowley (like many other prairie towns) was settled around 1910 by the families of nearby farmers to efficiently collect and load farm products onto trains bound for Calgary. The soils in the Rowley region are ideal for agriculture due to their high fertility.
It wasn’t long before the town of Rowley became a hub of activity: large fields were planted, harvested, and transported through the Rowley train station. Between 1915 and 1929, the local farmers built stores, banks, and other services in town so that they didn’t have to travel long distances to get what they needed. A school, post office, and church were built and Rowley was officially connected by rail to the rest of the province.
The Great Depression experienced across the entirety of North America had no mercy on its relentless tear across western towns. Rowley was no exception to the struggles of widespread drought and market collapse.
The grain industry lost most of its value. Farmers – used to dealing with hardships – toughed the economic ruin out and did their best to provide for their families and continue building the community despite the market. Farmers who had overextended themselves upgrading their farms and livelihoods were left being unable to afford the upkeep of their farm and business in town began to close.
By the 1940s people started packing up their belongings and using that new train station to leave town. Rowley, Alberta was in decline. The municipal district office was moved out of Rowley and fires had leveled many homes and businesses.
When Alberta’s highway system was constructed in the 1950s, Rowley was bypassed entirely and left behind. These roads made it easy for young people to leave Rowley in favour of Drumheller, Calgary, or Edmonton. In the 1950s, both the hotel and curling rink burned down and were never replaced. The school and railway station both closed down in 1965.
... just an old good song ;)
Devenir gris
Devenir gris
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise a ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derriere d'un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back shop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long. . .
