This abandoned park is in Korea and was run by a corrupt businessman. I lifted this caption from the site, but check the site out. Tons more photos.

Okpo Land
I’m not sure how other people view the photos on this page, but when I look at them I feel reverence for the past, for the people who were displaced, and for the dark little places where people don’t look. I’m always respectful and I never resort to vandalism, rarely leave graffiti unless it’s on a chalk board, and almost never take anything.

But Okpo Land is different. This was an amusement park run by obviously a corrupt businessman. After the first accident in the park resulting in a fatality, he kept the place open and refused to pay damages to the victim’s family. The second fatality, this time a young girl (aged 4 according to one source), resulted in the closure of the park in 1999. I can’t be sure, and my only source is Laura’s comments on her pictures, but I think the last fatality took place exactly where this photo is staged. This pedal-powered duck derailed, dumping the young girl out, and she was killed by the fall. A few meters away we found the shattered duck head from the ride. The fall either happened right here, or a few meters back up the track, in which case the ride was pulled up to the platform and then just abandoned. It must have been a quick closure–open one day, then closed the next and everything not nailed down was taken.

I dislike the owner of this place, which is different from all other places I’ve visited. Coming to this place is different than peeking inside a condemned hanok in downtown Seoul or a girls’ high school. This place has also been abandoned longer and is more decayed, so we took more safety precautions than normal.

From the site:

Explanation: Today the Solstice occurs at 0608 Universal Time, the Sun reaching its southernmost declination in planet Earth’s sky. Of course, the December Solstice marks the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the south. When viewed from northern latitudes, the Sun will make its lowest arc through the sky along the southern horizon. So in the north, the Solstice day has the shortest length of time between sunrise and sunset and fewest hours of daylight. This striking composite image follows the Sun’s path through the December Solstice day of 2005 in a beautiful blue sky, looking down the Tyrrhenian Sea coast from Santa Severa toward Fiumicino, Italy. The view covers about 115 degrees in 43 separate, well-planned exposures from sunrise to sunset.
