Description
Captured 4/22/14, early on an overcast morning, embarrassingly about half a mile from home.
Like, despite being abandoned and boarded up, doesn't anyone tend to this property? Shades of Detroit! A stark contrast to the multitiered structure in the background.
The automobile in the driveway belongs to someone in the house on the right.
And, unfortunately, I haven't received any ebots, whether uploads or comments, over the last three days. So don't think that I'm ignoring you. All other email comes through in top notch order, so RR is the only culprit in this instance.

At last it is good to see somewhere which might have a few insects and other mini beasts !
goodoleboy
Other than a few ants, there are no insects or minibeasts in the general area, wild growth or not.

Really a sad state of affairs when a house gets in this condition, Harry.

Could be a des-res by the time Halloween swings around !
goodoleboy
Okay, but what exactly is a des-res?

Around here it would already by razed and they'd be putting up 3 multistoried mansions in the space. Shame it's gone to seed, maybe it was ruined by the drug trade. Excellent documentation of the condition, Harry; someone should be paying your for all your chronicling effort in the area!

I just travelled to Oregon and Washington and saw more falling down, overgrown houses than I ever have before. This one is pretty unique for your area for sure. I'm sure someone will come along and turn it into a McMansion!1

Know what you're saying there mate but I don't think this house was ever natures own.. What was there before - well, I think you know more about that Harry.. California? Scrubland etc? But maybe this 'brownfield' site as we call them, will have useful house built on it.. And no more land used outside the City? YEAH RIGHT! Rob

a shot of a depressing sight, getting more common in big cities (we have them throughout the city). And you have it next to a living house, and one wonders how it feels to live next to this abandoned boarded up place. There's another house on the other side, and a big building behind---life is around it, for sure. I like that you gave this to us from the sidewalk, so we can see the pileup of weed-growth in front of the house, and get the whole context. And your white sky adds a sense of desolation to the shot, along with the brightness. And the largely face-forward capture makes it seem like a wall of decay. Amazing find---esp as you found it between inhabited homes. The 'urban desert', as a friend once called it. Fine work Harry.
