Welcome to Ruins Hall, Glen Rock, Pennsylvania


While on a bike ride in southern Pennsylvania right above the Mason Dixon line I came upon a town called Glen Rock. 
I came across what appeared to have been an abandoned  factory or warehouse.  I followed my nose (i.e., my camera) inside and discovered a roofless, open to the elements interior containing a number of pictures painted on the wall.  My initial impression was that it was graffiti,  but looking further, I saw it was organized and interesting.  While the paintings on the walls were not studied professional works they gave me immense pleasure to see them because I knew that these folks had within them the love and spirit of the beauty of existence.    



I would guess the attractive young ladies above are the artists who produced the work. It is a pleasure to see their images on the wall but where are the boys?  I think most boys have just dropped from the intellectual, artistic and commercial worlds with their addiction to the hand held computer.
