Absecon Cemetery/The temple of Hope and Knowledge/Insulator House


So since I had nothing to do today and I haven’t gone in a while, I decided to go to a location today. I called up my Grandpa last night and he said he had a Dentist appointment this morning but after he could go. Since the places I wanted to go to were like right down the street it didn’t really matter what time we went. So after his appointment he called me up and i headed over to his house. 
The first place we went was to a cemetery in Absecon. Its located on New Jersey Ave. This guy told Weird NJ that we was there and he saw a little girl in the graveyard, when he looked back to see if she was there she was gone. So we checked it out. It was REALLY cold but on the bright side i got to use my new camera which worked out great. We took some pictures and there was really nothing to see so we got back in the car and headed to the next place.

The next place was the Temple of Hope and Knowledge. It is a church in shape of three pyramids. the two on the sides are little but the one in the middle is big. We tried to get in but there wasn’t even a doorknob! I don’t really know the story behind it but it’s a church located in Pomona on route 30. It is currently not called the temple of hope and knowledge, its another type of church and the yard and building is not very well maintained.

Lastly, we went to the Insulator house. It a house off of Jimmie Leeds road in Galloway that has all these little green bottles, for electricity or something,  on a fence. There are legit like a million of these bottles. I was afraid the guy who owned the house would come out and yell to stop taking pictures of his house but nothing happened. I’m always so paranoid! 


More locations to come soon!

Padre Pio


or Pio Padre whatever you want to call it.
So since i was really bored on Wednesday i decided to go to a nearby location. I decided to go to the Padre Pio/ Pio Padre Shrine. It’s located in on 40 in Landisville in Buena township. 
So it was further than i had thought. I parked in the little parking lot and two guys in trucks were sitting there and were starring me down it was kind of creepy so i decided to wait to get out of my car to go take pictures. They left 5 mins after i got there. So i walked up to the shrine they had some religious music playing which i thought was kind of nice. It was freezing cold out so i said to myself ‘make this a quick one’ I took some pictures of the shrine and stuff and some pictures for my photography class i am currently taking. It took me no longer than 15 mins to take the pictures. Just as i started walking back to my car a women popped out of a car in the parking lot. i thought she was going to yell at me for taking pictures in a religious setting and it was disrespectful because she kinda gave me a dirty look walking up to the shrine but she she didn’t say anything. I got back in my car and drove home. 
Halfway home i forgot to take a picture of myself for the album so looks like i have to wait for another day to go out there and do that. 
Another one down, on to the next one :)
