Abandoned Theme Parks

1) The park that most interest me was The Prehistoric Forest, which was a park that had a lot of cool rides, and the theme was Jurassic park.  The fact that the park blends in with the forest is that you could take pictures of  nature, and the park together which is a good combination.

2) The Prehistoric Forest.

3) Some unusual places that I think would be interesting is:

- A Swimming pool.

- At a river.

- Desert

- In the ocean

- A Haunted House.

4)

5) I think that it would be interested to take photos in a haunted house because the quality of the things around the house, and it would be a great place to take photos to show how much you know about being a photographer.
