Inviting? Not sure about that...I wish to stay as far away from those as I possibly can!! lol. Cool shot though and I love the colors!! The sky is too cool!! |

OMG, back in the day when I lived in Woodbridge, I was looking for something to photograph.  magnetic9999 suggested the Lorton Prison (closed at this point, but not turned into anything as neat as an art center). I drove there, and low and behold, it was unlocked. My lucky day!!! I went inside and got some good photos in spite of the harsh light. (You can see them here Lorton from the inside).
I turned to leave, and woe is me, someone had locked the gate. I was locked inside an old defunct prison. My cell phone was in my Jeep, outside the locked gate. Ever try to break out of a prison, even without the guards? I do not recommend it to anyone.
I have lost all of the originals due to a computer crash, but these few still reside in my pbase account.

| Nothing like a prison park to clear one's head. The colors are great. I am happy the guards in the tower weren't shooting back at you shooting the photo. |

| Very powerful shot. I like that curved line leading us into the picture. My only suggestion would be to make things a tiny bit brighter. |

A "Prison Park"! lol!!
Actually this is tack sharp and I love the composition of your image. Nice job!! Thanks for sharing the story behind it all. It's refreshing to hear something positive used along with the word Prison! I'd explore around here for sure. |

| I love the blue sky! That's so funny that you chose a prison, I have one on my list too! Unfortunately there are still prisoners in the one I'm going to get. I don't know how I'd feel about going to an art center that's in an old prison. |

| Sounds like a great use for a former prison. Nice job giving us a great variety in Virginia. |
