I took this in October. I went there a few times this fall to clear my head and walk around for exercise. Ever since I was a child, I have visited Keewaydin State Park, and I even worked there for two summers of my adulthood as well. This is the foundation of an old hotel that was located where the park is now. I am not sure if it was never fully developed or if it was taken down and some of the foundation remains. However, it's beautiful and my favorite hidden treasure at the park. Timeless, a place that has been left behind and practically forgotten. However, I know that I will always remember this staircase.
Jenn, I adore this photo. I'm so glad that you are still taking photos like this. Logging the important things. I look at this and it's almost as if you could step into another world. I find that I have visual markers like that everywhere. They are what makes a place magical and treasured.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I love the most about it. It's hidden in the woods too, the park itself is small and I am sure plenty of people have found it, but it's not out in the open for people to enjoy, it's just in the middle of nowhere. It reminds me of imagination and being a child. It reminds me that the past can still be remembered even if its only the foundations of where it began... Things like this staircase keep me grounded to the roots, pretending that there is magic and remembering that history CAN be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love this pic. Crazy.
