Silver Dollar City, in Branson, Missouri, has some of the greatest groundskeepers in the entertainment world. Here, the contrast between a rusted mine cart and the purple booms caught my eye.

A tiny spot of sunshine to light up the edge of this old pipe.

----- Stalker film transcript

THIS ALBUM ('THE ZONE')
These images are very broadly inspired by Tarkovsky's film, ’Stalker’ (1979) and the book he loosely based it on, ’Roadside Picnic’, by the Strugatsky Brothers (1972). Images here are not meant to literally recreate ’Stalker’ scenes, but aim to capture plausibly similar or related scenes, with a similar mood where possible. Much of the film's mood in 'The Zone' itself is dream-like or eery. There are no illustrations in the book (at least, not in my edition). Its mood is mostly less dream-like and more matter-of-fact and action-based.
BACKGROUND
An only vaguely observed, transient, alien event on Earth (The Visit or The Visitation) left behind a hazardous Zone where strange objects, events and conditions occur. They defy scientific understanding, and prove to be a very complex, and sometimes fatal, maze of traps. Those brave and skilful enough (Stalkers), risk these hazards, not always successfully, and enter The Zone illegally to earn a living by collecting particular objects which have acquired substantial financial value on the black market.
In the film, most of the action takes place within The Zone. According to the film's short English language, introductory synopsis, "The setting of the film is a tiny town on the outskirts of The Zone, a wilderness area which has been cordoned off by the government. Stalker works as a guide to bring people in and out The Zone to a room [The Room] which is said to grant the deepest innermost wishes …. Residual effects of an unnamed occurrence have transformed a mundane rural area scattered with ruined buildings into an area where the normal laws of physics no longer apply …."
In the book, the equivalent of The Room is an obscure Golden Sphere the route to which has been discovered by, or passed on to, just a very few Stalkers.

Well Stelly has been a bit of a freak all week, plus it's been hot as hell, so we didn't get out much. Wanted to try and get my shot today, so took Stelly down to the barn, and wouldn't you know it, the guys on the ranch next door to us, started firing off shotguns ;-( stell was none to keen for that, so we went back to the casa...so here's Stelly taking a load off (she has cramps and is retaining water LOL and well...just doesn't feel pretty ;-) Poor girlie ;-)
The remnants of the Hartwell Train Depot in Airline, GA are full of great textured and rusted train ephemera.

There was this little photo booth photo tucked into the back of the tintype with Lucy written on the back. Evidently one of the little girls as a woman.
I have a feeling it may be the youngest little girl in the middle.It's hard to see with the damage but she appears to have the same eyes.
I was appreciating the rust, then realized the background had apartments converted from a grain elevator and moved them into frame.
