This blog is to showcase some of the photo's I've taken, the pictures can be from my archive of many years or taken recently. They are from where I live and the various places I have been. I hope Enjoy my work and come back to visit again
Change is the only constant. They've cleared all the land around a deserted house near me and I'm waiting to see if they'll demolish it or refurbish it.
A sad sight in today's world. Change is constant and never ending. Glad you captured it before it all disappears. Someday no one will recognize the site.
Sad to see such a neat old house go. In my part of the world it's usually a beautiful natural area I end up grieving, but they'll do this too. More and more as our society gets on, leaving more charming building from an increasingly remote past, and fewer untouched areas to "develop".
Worst thing is it was a very nice garden surrounding the place and a nice water feature to the right which was attached to Bradfords Brook, now its a ruin
Going on all around me too - cute little ranch style homes of the '60's valued around $250,000 being torn down to put up huge 3 story "McMansions" with over a million $ price tags! And don't even get me started on new roads supposedly required to cut through lovely old neighborhoods - it's all very upsetting this thing they call 'progress.' I'm back from Patagonia Bill and will try to visit here more often again! Always enjoy your photos and such - Mary

DeleteToo bad. It's happening all over the world.
ReplyDeleteYour right there

ReplyDeleteThe latter greedy developers

ReplyDeleteSometimes they leave it for ages
DeleteWhen you see land being cleared in our area, the fear is that another 500 apartments are about to be built.
ReplyDeleteThats how I feel
DeleteSort of sad, isn't it?

ReplyDeleteI can't help wondering how much the owners made out of selling the place, was it worth the dislike the locals have for them
DeleteSpeaking from personal experience, developers are dirtbags whose word is completely worthless.
ReplyDeleteYour so right there and once they see some property they will not give up
