Children don't play here anymore! Photo series by Ben Goossens Series from a abandoned amusements park in Belgium: Dadizele. Everything was left there as if they have to leave suddenly. Nature is taking over now. Not my style, but I give it a try. (All images are treated with Focal Point 2)	< 1 of 7 > Click arrows to step between images

A very different thing from you Ben, but big compliments from here, I never was there because I think I can't get the right pictures for me, you really created a fantastic series from here. The B/W fits absolutely great and I have seen many pictures from here, but yours is the best collection I ever saw

Ben Goossens Thanks a lot Sven:-) Nice to rear this from a decay specialist !!

Very special BW series Ben.
I am a father and I have a a special relationship to the playgrounds.
A strong mood created here..

Ben Goossens Thanks Paralaxa:-)
I think, every photographer would make something different from this "strange" place, so much decay to see.

Als serie, erg sterk, Ben, schitterend.
Heb je de foto's met een lensbaby gemaakt
of komt de vervaging aan de buitenkanten, door de F2 ?

Ben Goossens Bedankt Jacob:-)
Ik kan het PP niet laten en heb de beelden bewerkt met "Focal point 2" van Onone, een heel inteligente plug-in/filter, daarmee heb je alles onder controle.

Jacob Tuinenga Dank je voor de info, Ben :)

Waow, Very great shot,
This place seems very impresing, dindn't know we had one like this in Belgium...
Is the acces easy? i'd like to go there doing a photo-shoot

Ben Goossens Thanks Alice:-)
Yes, this place is impressive and the access is easy... I think all Belgian photographers has been there.
But there's always a way to be different... maybe, I go back one day and do something different with it...like those composed images published who come also from this place

maybe not your usual style, but the very high quality is always here Ben! A superb series, I love the topic: the contrast between this place of happiness and the current feeling of abandonment is impressive, an outstanding work!

So Ben goes URBEX?

Ben Goossens Bedankt Frédéric:-)
Voor series zijn mijn genre van montages niet evident, dus maar gewone opnamen, well een beetje bewerkt met PP, wat ik niet kan laten.
