In 1986, Expo 86 was held in Vancouver, British Columbia. Wanting to be the main attraction, McDonalds built a 57-metre-long barge which was named “The McBarge.” It had intended to showcase future technology and architecture. However, it wasn’t as popular as they had anticipated and was left abandoned to decay.

There’s something that’s just so haunting and beautiful about abandoned places of worship. You wonder what ethereal being these walls were dedicated to. Where did their followers go. How faith has faded away with time and with it the memory of old gods

I found a ghost town while driving though the midwest. I spent the day wading through dead grass and exploring the vacant homes. A rusty water tower lay on the outskirts of the town and the yards were littered with old cars.
New life took over the town. Birds had built nests in many of the homes and there was a dead lamb in one. As it grew dark it began to rain. I picked the house with the cleanest bed and slept inside as I listened to rain drip through holes in the ceiling and patter on the roof. I woke up early to the sounds of raccoons near me on the stairs.

This is actually really scary once you think about it. There are newspapers and lightbulbs and a painting on the desk in the second picture. There’s a trailer in the fourth, along with numerous cars. There are pots and personal effects in the second to last, and the place is trashed. What made everyone leave in such a hurry that they didn’t have time to grab what was dear to them, or even leave in their cars? Why would they leave them there, and not even consider driving away? What madness inflicted all of the residents to simply leave, without taking anything?
I meant to say “neat” because it’s the first time I’ve seen a toad in person with its croak sac and I got excited
Too excited
Apparently all my snaps of it are unintentionally disconcerting and eerie
I finally figured out what my aesthetic is, the colorful and whimsical, but eerie loneliness that I Spy books portray
I Spy books did feel lonely, what the fuck.
They’re clearly designed by People In The Middle Of Something, but there are no people.

In my childhood bedroom I could always hear tapping and scratching on my window in the middle of the night despite there being nothing around the window that could have made those sounds. I had to sleep in my moms room a lot of nights because I was too afraid of mine. It just had an eerie feel about it but I never felt scared in the rest of the house.

Amazing.
Will there be some sort of I Spy vapourwave to go with this aesthetic?
Orange Cat: [unfriendly/somewhat sharp meow]
Second cat slowly looks at the camera.
Man, filming, bashfully and sounding somewhat frightened: Sorry!
I’ve never fuckin seen a cat move like that, and it feels so goddamn eerie.
No.1 on the list of dogs that are so vacant the only explanation is that they were once beings of limitless knowledge who willingly sacrificed all of their intelligence for blissful ignorance:
