Abandoned. Photos apparently taken as found many years later.

These, an abandoned hotel in Japan (the phone on image three is a tricky find).

That's where they wrote that song with this chorus.

"Stachybotrys (chartarum) on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn
With a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do . . ."

In 1966 I was in sixth grade, so I was at least 13 then,
how time flies.........I hate it!
