While out for dinner with my art friend Michelle Renee Bernard and my husband in Asbury Park I started telling her about this friendship between Laura McHugh WEST and I...and all these challenges we set for each of us to do over the course of a year....this week's challenge was one that I thought was going to be difficult...when I told Michelle about it she mentioned that there was a power plant right here in Asbury Park......this was news to me, and very interesting to here. So I looked into it and she was right....this building that I have been intrigued with for years and taken many pictures of was actually a power plant......
 |
| this is the view from walking from Ocean Grove North into Asbury along the boardwalk.... |
 |
| I always wondered what this building was....I loved the shape and details....... |
 |
| and always wanted to sneak inside.. |
 |
| the building is all boarded up and local artist porkchop and others have painted murals on the boardwalk side.....you can check out their work here.http://splashofred.squarespace.com/art/asbury-park-splash-of-red-mural/ |
 |
| I started to look into this power plant and found vintage postcard images...... |
 |
| Asbury Park was a happening summer place......this was the view from the power plant looking west onto Wesley Lake..... |
 |
| Hoping that some day soon they continue to develop Asbury into the kind of place it once was.....Thanks Laura for this challenge and thanks to Michelle for telling me about this power plant.....this has been a very interesting challenge.... |
