Nothing was moving... by eudora

Nothing was moving...

while I was there, but you can almost see this building collapsing.

Great shot. There is just something about seeing buildings in a state like this that arouses the imagination

Surprised noone has salvaged the door or some of the siding. if this were here it would wind up in our one neighbo's garden in the back.. he can use just about anything. really too bad people leave it like tha.t

@bruni Thanks for commenting! Actually, there is evidence they are getting ready to tear the building down. There was a cool old Marlboro Man sign that is gone, so I think they are salvaging what they can. But I agree--it's s shame to just let something collapse like this.

It is sad to see a building in this shape, but compelling at the same time. In many cases there's enough wrong with the building that it is more cost-effective to tear it down and build something new than to try to repair what was there.

Wow! That is some find! I am amazed it's still standing at all!

There was a house next to my father's store in Vermont for many years that was in the same condition as this house. It was amazing how long it stayed that way! It was finally torn down when a new bridge went up. Great capture!

nice shot out here it would be seen as fair game and every salvagble bit would have been carried off in days

Well ... I'd stand back a little while shooting this one! Cool capture!
