Wow!
The house like rises out of the Trees and is a sort of creepy omen of the horrendus fire in distant days

I love it. Very natural, left behind feeling which makes the image blossom with the different types of greens.

You're right, rich, in some ways I am lucky - but around where I live this is actually quite uncommon. Around where I am, things are pretty much the same...I would assume the property the house stands on is still under possesion of its previous owner - why it hasn't been leveled (perhaps it has by now, I don't get out that way often) I don't know. It could very well be the ground is evil after all the horrible things that happened there. I know I wouldn't have lived there and I wouldn't want to live next door either. Since the building is a neighborhood lot, there really isn't anything that could be done with it. I doubt many people jump at the chance to build a house there with the place's history. Otherwise, for the most part, urban development has immediately torn down recently abandoned buildings, and the town itself is careful to do so as well so as to keep a good image.

Barbara, I guess you're lucky in the US then. I'd love to do some urban exploration but in England everything gets torn down or rehabbed into apartments before the dust even gets chance to settle. We had massive institutions just like you guys but when ours closed in the &0s they all got sold for housing etc. The best you can hope for is the odd abandoned house or derelict factory :-(

Oh boy! More Johnny Depp! ;-)

Reminds me of 'Edward Scissor Hands'

I love this photo.

Very nice, so serene and peaceful.

This reminds me of another location. Anyone seen the abandoned New Haven Motel on Route 12 in Wisconsin between Fort Atkinson and Whitewater? This looks like one of the abandoned "cabin" rooms. I just found out my uncle's neighbors know a lot about that place, including that some famous people stayed there, so I will find out a lot more soon. If you've heard of it, email me at jdfan63@hotmail.com

Anyways, this greenhouse is a really awesome find - I'd love to come across something like that while triapsing through the woods!

This reminds me of what is left of the Rouse house. I live a few miles from it, and its a creepy place. Some of you may have heard of it, its also known as "Murder Mansion." A kid murderded both his parents there back in the 80's and later it was turned into a illicit casino with mob connections and some guy was clubbed to death on the stairs. It burned down like 3 years ago when the owner was on vacation...the ruins have been left there and the greenhouse which has been partially burned still stands. Its weird, as this is right along a main road and is part of a neighborhood with houses right next door and across the street! Just goes to show how abandoned places are just left to sit.

Gorgeous!

Another great wallpaper.....

OMG what a beautiful picture, so serene!

Great picture, it's like a big green ocean of vegetation..

How old can this place be?

Shhhhh,I have a secret garden.
