"SiT 2 FaDE И DECaY" Originally named Canyon Padre Trading Post when it was built in the late 1940’s off the historic Route 66. It was renamed Twin Arrows in 1957 to pay homage to next stop, 2 Guns. 1 of 2000 famous Valentine Diners is located here, it’s badly damaged, but came ready to use when delivered & was created by Arthur Valentine out of Wichita, Kansas. Twins Arrows was owned by the Troxell Family from 1955 to 1985. When the I-40 was built in the 1970’s the “Best Little Shop on I-40” saw a decline. Twin Arrows closed in 1990 & reopened in 1995 but closed forever shortly after. Now this once popular stop sits in utter decay, slowing returning back into the ground. My UrbEx crew & I have revisited this place numerous times in past 15 years watching its steady decline & documenting its decay. #twinarrows #valentinediner #route66 #getyourkicksonroute66 #instagramaz #instaaz #DPGC_UrbanDecay #DPGC_UrbanDecay #instagramaz #urbex_kings #rsa_preciousjunk #urbex_utopia #urbex_supreme #urbexchampions #urbexartist #urbxtreme #world_wide_urbex #global_urbex #abandonedcentral #renegade_abandoned #kings_abandoned #theurbexchallenge #ig_urbex #glitz_n_grime #abandoned_wanderlust_tour #all_is_abandoned #abandoned_addiction #raw_abandoned #abandonedplaces #urbanexploring #urbanexplorer (at Twin Arrows Trading Post) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqbwuumPg1v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is ALL AI Generated... I asked: Write a post about exploring abdanonded buildings & Ghost towns and why documenting the decay and history is interesting. AI stated: Exploring abandoned buildings and ghost towns is a thrilling and fascinating experience. It is an adventure that takes you back in time, giving you a glimpse into the past and the people who once lived there. Documenting the decay and history of these abandoned places is interesting for several reasons. Firstly, it helps preserve the memory of these places and their stories for future generations. It is a way to honor the people who once lived there and the buildings they built. Secondly, documenting these abandoned places can help us learn about the past and how people used to live. It can help us understand the social, economic, and cultural factors that shaped the lives of those who lived there. Moreover, it is interesting to see the decay of e abandoned buildings and how nature has taken over. It is a reminder of the impermanence of everything and the power of nature. It is also a fascinating subject for photography and art, as the decay and the textures and colors it creates can be visually stunning. However, it is important to remember that exploring abandoned buildings and ghost towns can be dangerous, and it is important to take precautions and respect the property. It is also important to be mindful of the history and the people who once lived there and not to disturb or damage anything. In conclusion, exploring abandoned buildings and ghost towns and documenting the decay and history is an interesting and valuable experience that can teach us about the past, honor the people who once lived there, and provide inspiration for art and photography. Very interesting & scary... this is totally going to make ppl WAY MORE LAZY. But there are intriguing things about using AI.

I've been researching #AI & I am amazed @ what can be generated. I really feel this is going to be the #futuretechnology that will be used in everyday life. This technology can give any1 the power to create an image, a video, a story w/ just an idea & some keywords. I am exploring w/ #runwayml @ the moment.

"Romeo & Juliet" #Mausoleums & family #crypts graciously accept brick, mortar, & steel to enclose lifeless shells for the rest of eternity. Protecting them from the ruthlessness of mother nature, the war of time, & the cruelty of desecrators. St. Luis 1 is the oldest cemetery in Luisiana & is by far the most famous. It's survived over 225 years since its inception in 1789. Not even Hurricane Katrina could wash away the mark this cemetery has made over the centuries. Each grave has withstood the odds, some made it through in better shape as others lay nameless, scattered, & lost in time. The unique gothic marble & iron decay speaks to those who listen as the cool salted New Orleans breeze buzz throughout St. Luis 1's narrow walkways. With wanderlust, I lost myself through these towering shrines that give praise to those who have passed so long ago. They all speak the same message... "I existed & I was loved".

"MoM" I wonder how this sign looked new? It's barely holding together now & it beautifully stands the test of time, as I am sure those who put it there are no longer here. It's funny to find beauty in Death, since it's something we all fear. #Mausoleums & family #crypts graciously accept brick, mortar, & steel to enclose lifeless shells for the rest of eternity.

"A Little Prayer" Death always looms, we never know when we will go. Everyday is a roll of the dice.

"Cornering the Past Pt2" I was here about 12 years ago & I've definitely noticed these walls are slowly returning back into the earth. I am sure I the next 100 years these walls will just be rock piles. This place is so amazing, such a rich history. #CanyonDiablo the roughest, toughest town in #NorthernArizona. So #dangerous the #Army was called in to #police the town. Not much is left, but #rockwalls, old cans & #reminence of town that was too tough to die, but eventually did once the railroad was built. #DPGC_UrbanDecay #instagramaz #abandoned #abandonedaz #abandonedarizona #anonymousbando__ #abandoned_excellence #rsa_preciousjunk_ #decay_of_the_lower48 #kings_abandoned #myrustyfix #photo_hitchhiker #quiet_afterlife #raw_abandoned #savethedecay #total_abandoned #history #onlyurbexpost #urbaninterzone #the_urbex_institute #world_wide_urban (at Canyon Diablo, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYBLIlJ50U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I hope so too... It's been a challenging last 3 years & things are finally getting back to some normalcy. Time seems to be speeding up like the price of groceries, we're already in March for heaven's sake. Sometimes, you gotta stop, take a deep breath & carry on. But don't 4get take in everyday & be grateful for the small wins & those moments of bliss, because nothing lasts 4ever. I hope you're well. Here's to a great #2023. #thewritingsonthewall #cornishpasty #explorearizona #phoenix #bathroomart (at Cornish Pasty Co.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTbm9YJ4Os/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"You See Destruction, I See Beauty Pt2" Originally named Canyon Padre Trading Post when it was built in the late 1940’s off the historic Route 66. It was renamed Twin Arrows in 1957 to pay homage to next stop, 2 Guns. 1 of 2000 famous Valentine Diners is located here, it’s badly damaged, but came ready to use when delivered & was created by Arthur Valentine out of Wichita, Kansas. Twins Arrows was owned by the Troxell Family from 1955 to 1985. When the I-40 was built in the 1970’s the “Best Little Shop on I-40” saw a decline. Twin Arrows closed in 1990 & reopened in 1995 but closed forever shortly after. Now this once popular stop sits in utter decay, slowing returning back into the ground. My UrbEx crew & I have revisited this place numerous times in past 15 years watching its steady decline & documenting its decay. #twinarrows #valentinediner #route66 #getyourkicksonroute66 #instagramaz #instaaz #DPGC_UrbanDecay #filthyfeeds #sfx_urbex #urbexworld #rsa_preciousjunk #UrbEx_supreme #partnersingrime #jj_urbex #trailblazers_rurex #grime_lords #nexus_army #urbanexploration #unitedbygrime #autopsyofAmerica #ProTravelers #way2ill #gameoftones #globe_travel #worldcaptures #unitedbygrime #discarded_butnot_forgotten #unitedstatesofdecay #abandon_af (at Twin Arrows Trading Post) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cne6DGxpze4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"The Virgin" The small sovereign state of Vatican City can be found in Rome, Italy. It's made up of only 110 acres with the population of 842 souls including Pope Francis who lives in the Vatican Gardens. Vatican City is home to St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, & houses countless & priceless works of art including works from Michelangelo's Pietà & his painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The amount of marble & beauty this place beholds is amazing. History flows through ever inch & echoes throughout every long luxurious hall. #RomeItaly #DPGC_UrbanDecay #nexus_army #globe_travel #worldcaptures #igrome #igitaly #adventures #worldtraveler #ProTravelers #way2ill #gameoftones #travel #canon_official #virgin #religion #vaticancity #vatican #vatican #pope #rome #catholic #catholicism #thevirginmary #virginmary #babyjesus #jesus #jesuschrist #rome #italy #vaticancity #vaticancitystate (at Vatican Museum-Sistine Chapel-Saint Peter's Basilica Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOvWa5pJ5p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
