      "body": "We were on our way home from an amazing US cross-country trip from New York to Wyoming and back when we came across a Dr. Evermor’s Forevertron billboard in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin.  To be honest, when we first started to see them, we took them about as serious as..\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdz7FpRhL55cmD3dP6vxM2DeUnFjXb7cXSu8XHqwDjRKS/image.png)\n\n…and the always funny…\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYAGKiMWnsj7zNy9pzsMUh2wNYCT9m6kqnMQPZhsTnJmD/image.png)\n\n..and what trip wouldn’t be complete without a stop at…\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVYk9FvpMbKuEtsBv4xoeEUXbJxoyDCuEYZHw8wGRvaHa/image.png)\n\nAll jokes aside, Dr. Evermor’s Billboards were pretty much on the same level.  But, during a stop at a local diner called Leystra’s Venture Restaurant in Sauk City, Wisconsin, we discovered that this area had more than meets the billboard.    As we were leaving the diner, Dani noticed a bench in the entrance way.  On the bench was a plaque that was dedicated to August Derleth, the famed founder of Arkham House Publishing.  Most known for publishing the works of H.P. Lovecraft!   Oooh, the plot thickens!  We decide that the Forevertron billboards require further investigation.  Besides, it wasn’t too far out of our way as we headed back to New York.\n\nO’r the river and through the woods to Dr. Evermor’s Forevertron we go.  Actually, it’s located just off Route 12, dead smack between Baraboo, Wisconsin, home to famed Ringling Brothers and the aforementioned Sauk City.  Marked only by a small 2 foot by 4 foot handwritten sign in a nondescript field. In fact, the salvage yard next door has a larger more prominent sign.  Turning down the gravel road we are greeted this time by a large gate, which reads, “Guineness Book of Records… World’s Largest Scrap Metal Sculpture “The Forevertron”” in itself is one of the Doctor’s creations.  Oddly though, we take note that the spelling of Guinness is wrong.  Even still, we decide to continue on.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYZLhAmsTKJgACehhosWVuyieFJpwquHDUr4imnQHPhA2/image.png)\n\nThis is only the beginning of the oddities we would encounter ahead.  As we make the corner and the brush and grass thicken, I begin to question my decision to visit. Then, a clearing and creature appear.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPyfpG1ZJiyNSoENjf6Fr8LgnpJJynGvFBpxgyFxK95Ak/image.png)\n\nIt was at this moment, I knew I was in someplace really special.  After getting home and reading up on the life of Dr. Evermor, I later discovered that this creature was his most recent creation. And that it was still unfinished. I mean, all art is unfinished right? But, if you look close you can see the crane couplings that were to be used to lift this behemoth into the air so that it’s legs could be attached.  Sadly, the Doctor has been unable to complete the beast.  You see, this project has been going for many, many years. Dr. Evermor, aka Tom Every used to be a demolitions expert. Then one day in his storied career, he decided that enough was enough, and instead of destroying things, he would create them.  So Tom started by creating Dr. Evermor, and thus the rest is history.\n\nAs we gaze in wonderment, Dani grabs my shirt sleeve and squees, “look at this”.  I turn to see another wondrous creation.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmR5cuYW6ypiw9gZhuLUiNwQY4KTahrt3gCBYXY8vorEMa/image.png)\n\nIt is clearly apparent to me at this moment that these sculptures are special.  I cannot put my finger on it completely. They are definitely of a tesla-punk nature and modern steampunk definitely.  We still have yet to see a soul. Walking around the car we then see it, The Forevertron!\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTMqooZniFYKKUEQ2dAJjLTbiHbkhDB75v3ctYRHhsFA8/image.png)\n\nA machine created by Dr. Evermor to help him transcend to the heavens.  And the surrounding park is a giant party of sorts with all sorts of creatures and devices there to see him off.  I’m starting to think that we have found abandoned heaven!  Then from within the machine it seems, we hear a tiny voice saying, “Hello?” The voice gets louder, “Hello??”  It was Lady Eleanor, the good Doctor’s wife and grounds keeper.  Her first words were, “You are not a professional photographer are you?”  “No commercial photography is allowed”.  Instantly, in my head I thought, “This place really IS abandoned and we weren’t supposed to be there”.  I explained to Lady Eleanor that we were on vacation and while I was a professional photographer, I really just wanted to capture the park for this blog and share, so all was good.  She was a lovely lady who has had to endure rude people, vandals, and more at the park.   We got to sit with her and talk about the Doctor, and her work as well.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQma7GAMFQGeTEJnjaqh72AktN3Mq8scxZXSeFt3J62ycPN/image.png)\n\nTruly she was a wonderful soul and I felt a good connection.  We purchased one of Dr. Evermor’s sculptures while there.  Only a few select pieces are for sale. We were VERY lucky to be able to buy one.  Each comes with it’s own special story.  She tells us that the Doctor’s steampunk creations are unique in that he never bends or shapes the metal.  All of the pieces are cut and welded together as they are.  He takes scrapped pieces from industrial sites all over the world, even NASA and makes these wonderful machines and creatures from the world of Dr. Evermor.  This place is SO special and it isn’t just the steampunk that is resonating with me, it’s the magic here.  We head off to explore the park and take more photos.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPzDRCmUVz5EE1rdy8cbiiVx4sqqaiHdWcFt8EcVbxpPQ/image.png)\n\nMore creatures show up to see Dr. Evermor off on his afterlife journey.\n\nLater on, after returning home I learned that Tom Every has had several strokes and is currently in constant care.  Sadly, it seems that continuation of the park may never happen.  This place is so unique and different it must be saved and continued.  I even held thoughts of offering to take over those duties myself.  That is how much this place spoke to me.  I’ve written to the organization and offered to come back and do a special piece as a fundraiser for the park and have not heard back.   I find it sad that this man built this amazing world and that it touches so many people and just may end up a pile of rust that children of all ages may not be able to enjoy it in the future.  As it seems, once the good Doctor complete’s his journey, the park may just up and disappear.  Maybe that was his plan all along.\n\nImagine though, as you look through the rest of my photos, a Willy Wonka-esque production for visitors. With these wonderful sculptures lite up, and steam spewing from various parts with the Dr. himself and actors in steampunk cosplay wandering the grounds…who wouldn’t pay an admittance price to be a part of that?  Like a nightly living VR experience?  Well, maybe I am just a Jr. Evermor, I’d like to believe we all are.\n\nSee all the amazing creatures of Dr. Evermor’s Forevertron Sculpture Park by clicking on the link below.\n\nFULL GALLERY - http://portfolio.theexplorographer.com/Landscapes/Dr-Evermors-Forevertron/n-xf9Ww8/\n\nEvermor has a book available which you can purchase @ Amazon\n\nFind out more on how to visit @ http://WorldofDrEvermor.com\n\nVisit while you can!\n\nStay Creative,\n\n~The Explorographer",

      "body": "On a recent exploration located deep in the Catskills, NY region, a group of friends and I came upon an old pool table hidden in one of the rooms in this old hospital.  It was pretty cool and at the time I took a few shots but didn’t think much of it.  A great time was had by all (featured in an upcoming blog), and that was that.  When I returned home I processed a few of my shots and uploaded them to my usual networks.   This was the shot:\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPbcYNUTWuoBuEkcfdin87b2XBgf3j6Xgrcod8mjWaCBU/image.png)\n\nOne of my friends who usually attends these sorts of shoots with me but was unable to this time, contacted me almost immediately.  “Duuuuuude, that pool table is sooooo coooool”, he said. Or something to that effect.  His name is Walter Arnold, and he is a long time friend and co-adventurer/photographer.  He was so excited to see the table he hatched a plan to make his way up to New York from his home in North Carolina just to shoot it with me.  Walt does a lot of art shows and he explained to me that the #1 request he gets is for an old abandoned pool table, and he has not been able to find one still in tact, especially as “nice” as this one!   So he sets up a schedule for a few weeks out and we set a date.  In the meantime he tracks down some vintage pool balls, chalk, and cues from eBay.  Normally we never set-up shots like this.  But I knew there were no accessories there so we were going to help the scene a bit this time. All in the name of art right?    All went as planned, we got there, got in and set up our shots.  I took a few here and there, but this shoot was for Walt so I kind of let him go at it for about an hour or so.  Here are a couple of my “in between” shots.\n\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPMEMSAUq4ywENfoRm28dsFyCgVh8FBNcymjwwnrx2HNN/image.png)\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVSoWHxsJNyeDgZ4erVakoAtY9kcv9as8wtHr6QWvXakj/image.png)\n\nHe was hemming and hawing over getting the shot the way that he wanted (he is a perfectionist when it comes to his art)\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbc85ZVqaxWXZQQKM3JHQ2Epi1JrUZs36bri2A7HsKWtB/image.png)\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYxDdwdabtVE3A22pDDYy7cQ3JKFc7KaWE8yb71gp7NAP/image.png)\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWtd9C7eYxQioazWKawTPwv8jME2nwnwihDhVqrhbBEfu/image.png)\n\nSo while Walt was snapping away, I sauntered off to the adjacent room as to allow him to focus.  Suddenly I hear Walt yell, “F#$K!!” Apparently, my professional artist and photographer pal had been shooting for the last hour in jpeg. (For those unaware, this is a mode in your camera that saves in reduced quality and files size, or disastrous mode) I laughed for almost 30 minutes straight.  Not at Walt mind you, but at the whole situation.  This has happened to me before and has happened to most photogs I know.  Almost like a rite of passage.  Anyway, back to square one with Walt.  Short story version, he got the shot!  We explored a few other places that day which I will be posting in this Abandoned Catskills, NY series so stay tuned for those.  Be sure to check out all my Pool Table shots at this gallery link:  https://goo.gl/xTQvGC\n\nLikewise you can check out my brother Walter’s work over at his website @ https://ArtOfAbandonment.com\n\n(All photos here are my own and may only be used with permission)\n\nStay Creative,\n\n~The Explorographer",
