Any item in the EF at this time has been claimed by Clark's Elioak Farm,and are being moved by the Farm.Many of the items at the Farm such as the Teacups are being restored to their original form by not only myself but a handful of others who are experts and professionals in this particular field!

Just plain "WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!"

.........continued...it's just too storybookish a place for any child of any age to have missed the idea that it was created for them!

issath420,
The dioramas would insinuate there was something there,but with the iron grates still there and how it was structured,you'd get the idea there were children in awe and inspiration of the whole place!

The very first 2-3 steps are weak,rotted thru!Wedding photos and skateboards are not very advisable without some kinda support!But to be on the top deck of this place is quite an experience!

Don't let that short step down fool you!It's a lot ferther down than you'd think!!!
My wife said when I got to this point,to make a sharp left!I truly wonder what she was getting at!!!!????An insurance claim?

The angle of this tower is nothing short of spectacular!It could pass for a scene in any good Bela Lugosi horror movie,fitting in so well!It also reminds me of scenes from a '70's T.V. series called Dark Shadows that featured a character,Barnabas Collins,who was a vampire spooking everyone out for a couple of seasons!
This shot is awesome!

My memory of this place was when me,Ladyhawke,Monica, Linda and Matt Harrison
were entering into this Castle,I was so anxious for Linda to come in because she was distressing as to how she was going to fit thru such a narrow gap in the back of the Castle,I was nervous she was going to refuse all together!But when she did work her way in and began to explore the place,I was nuts with enchantment and excitement!I was an exciteded and bubbly 5 year old adult going thru scenes of a past that I could only see thru the eyes and experiences and detailed descriptions of those who were around me!

Being the artist that I am with such a vivid imagination and never having been there,I can look at this picture,knowing ahead of time where the Teacup was headed,I can imagine sitting in one of those Teacups feeling like I was actually in a real life story on my way to join in a fantastical
adventure with Alice and the gang already partying it up,with all of them expecting my arrival at any moment and ready to take it to a whole new level!

I'd lik'ataka'lik!SLUUUUURP!YUUUUUUUUMMM!!!

If some whiteboy gangsta wannabe wanna do this,go find some other place deserving of this abuse and impress your homies there!The place
to start is where you live!Not a place once enjoyed by countless others,totally dirrespected by that "gangsta"crap!
Just expressing my sourness and bitterness!

Aaaahh!Those are stockings caught in the oven,evidence of someone trying to make their escape!Heeey...wait a minute!Upon closer inspection,I'd say they are Mott's socks being hung out to dry!Mott is just sitting,taking a breather in the waiting area........... : )

Yup!it is totally laced like a Christmas tree with Poison ivy,a true greenhouse for the stuff,but being so enshrouded in the foilage the way it is
makes for one amazing shot!

Serene!A place to allow the imagination to relax and float!I love it!

This shot is a once in a lifetime finale!Seeing it from Jilly's on the hill,you can see how far the mountain has gotten to crumbling!But how wild it looks in this photo!

OOPS!My mistake!Tom Sawyer's Pond is around the corner of this photo,on the far left!
My apologies!

The bridge in this picture was of Tom Sawyers' Fishing Pond,the "bridge "is a rock where a figure of Tom Sawyer sat on top of the rock with water flowing out of the rock into the pond..a water fountain,to be exact!

This shot of the lake is so serene,peaceful and calming!So beautful!I could sit on that pier for hours and meditate,let my imagination soar!

A slight pull on the steering wheel of child-rearing could change the direction of childhood exposure
to storybook influence while enriching their young minds with the use of imagination-building without interfering with needed computer training!

Well,the ones who did this didn't stop there!That wasn't good enough for them!They kept going,on to other structures as The 3 Little Pigs' Brick House,defacing the roof over the doorway!It takes away from the childhood innocense while the fools who did it just care to laugh and have fun at others' expense while walking away and giving the finger!Their attitude;our fun had,your problem now !
I'm an airbrush artist who assisted in relocating and restoring the pieces..there IS no art in this!Only abuse and foul play!

The people who put our EF together have unwittingly created a torch that has been picked up and passed on to future dreamers,artists,sculptors,pioneers in tomorrow's technology.The EF is not passing on without having left its mark on an untold number of people's hearts who,seeing the physical structures done away with,know that the spiritual structures will continue to live on in our minds and in our hearts!Having never been there,it has nevertheless altered the course in the direction of my life that I would otherwise never have known,and would have remained dormant,which in a person's life,and in the gift of life itself,is even sadder still and would have been an even greater tragedy never having known a hidden potential to having made it manifest to be shared and enjoyed by others for the present and in future times!
