I Brutalized My Brain at a Forsaken Frontier
Being a fan of brutalist buildings, I had to investigate this abandoned telecommunications office and data center complex. It's barely a five minute drive from my home, and I've driven past it nearly every day for years, but never bothered to drop by to get a few decent photos of it.
The property is both liminal and brutalist, both of which I am a fan of. The empty property sits on the city limits, right next to a natural area called Eagle Marsh - on a sort of "frontier".
The empty parking lots felt like an endless wasteland of asphalt, once accommodating around a thousand vehicles at it's peak.
The more I wandered around, the more my brain became brutalized with the brainstorm that brewed within. I began to get Backrooms vibes, and the introduction of an idea for a story began to rumble around in my mind.
Sometimes, one just needs to get out there for a little inspiration and creative motivation. Brainstorming is brutal.

I Weirded Out in a Whimsical Wilderness
'Twas the day before Halloween, and I was feeling weirdly whimsical, so I went and wandered around an obscure local spot I had never heard of. The place was a whimsical property called "Fun Farm" that had surreal structures arranged in a row, and the place reminded me of the quaint little town of Spectre, from Tim Burton's "Big Fish " film. 
The evening was setting in, and the serenely surreal place was silent and still, apart from a cluster of swans swiftly escaping my attempt at snapping a few photos of them. A faint flash of lighting and a rumble of thunder enhanced the mood as twilight lingered.
It felt like I was literally waltzing through a weird and whimsical dream, lost in the wilderness of wonder and curiosity.
I hadn't realized this hidden gem was right here all this time, only a simple drive across town! As I wandered around, weirding out in this unique place, drops of rain began to suddenly pelt me in the face. I took shelter in one of the structures as a brief downpour came through that lasted only a few moments.
The rain lingered for a while, but lightened up, so I wandered around the area. I found serenity as I stared at the small lake, taking in the soothing sound of the soft pitter-patter of raindrops in this weirdly wonderful wilderness.
