I have wanted to go to this site for a while now, this challenge was the perfect excuse for me. The area was a naval defense site protecting American lands from invasion, established about the time of American involvement in World War I in 1917. Now open to the public, this area is littered with abandoned gun turrets, pillboxes, and buildings.
This image best captures the overall aura of the area. The silence and the vacancy of it all

I like it, but my eye goes to the bench automatically. Perhaps that is what you wanted, but I would think that you would want your abandoned building to be your theme not your background.
