Abandoned Roadside Attractions: Under a Southwest Moon is a fascinating nocturnal exploration of the best abandoned oddities, kitschy tourist traps, strange sculptures, and surreal art installations throughout California, Arizona, and Nevada. These roadside attractions were designed to capture the imagination of motorists on their way to somewhere else. Wander at night with the author through a Flintstones-themed village, a dilapidated 1950s-themed waterpark, forty curiously painted vehicles jammed into the desert sand, a forgotten Santa's Village tucked in the mountains, and 129 life-sized metal sculptures of prehistoric beasts rusting in the desert. Some attractions continue to decay, while others have been saved ... for now. The author illuminates these amazing locales with light, creating haunting dreamlike exposures of several minutes or more. If you are a fan of creative photography, weird attractions, or have an insatiable curiosity for travel, Abandoned Roadside Attractions invites you to catch rarely seen glimpses of these strange sites.
