The future is..........empty

So, this Easter we went to the in-laws for a little family holiday. They live out in the French countryside very near Poitiers so it's always a nice little getaway from the hustle and bustle of London. I can't say it was boiling hot but it certainly wasn't snowing and the kids had more fun than they have ever had on previous trips.
Whilst there me and my wife decide to cash in our Christmas gift from her parents which was two tickets to the Futurascope and babysitting all day for the kids (they aren't quite old enough for the Futurascope experience yet). If you don't know about Futurascope, it is a theme park but not the normal roller coaster sort. It's more cinema rides (you know, the simulator ones with chairs that move) and huge IMAX films and about the panet and all sorts of things like that. Plus they have an amazing light show every evening that has to be seen to be believed. And to top it all off, the place looks like the model set of Logan's Run, you know the intro sequence when the train is whizzing across the city (yes, I am a sci-fi geek in case you do not yet know).

The French kids were all still at school on the day we went so the park was empty and slightly surreal looking. I managed to capture a few frames that translate the weird world that is the empty theme park. Places that are designed to handle a huge flow of human traffic suddenly look very strange when the people are no longer there.

Enjoy.
