I agree, but my opinion is slighty bias as I think all things abandoned are beautiful:

Over a span of 6 years, artist Lauren Orchowski drove throughout North America documenting the Cold War-era rocket ship playgrounds with her 8 x 10 view camera.

With photographs created in both black and white and color, the viewer is invited to contemplate Utopia, revisit their childhood, or question why they have not yet signed up for space camp.

This collection of images is also accompanied by text offering insight to the evolution of the project. [Lauren Orchowski]

Nice huh, but all this did was unlock a memory of me playing with a translucent pink plastic water pump-pressure rocket I use to love launching in my yard as a kid…… *counts down; makes rocket noises* *cries*
