While I think these images are incredibly beautiful, they are also a haunting reminder of fragility and impermanence, most especially to an architect (please indulge me). I believe many architects feel a satisfaction in well, many things, but most especially the physical permanence and lasting influence their work has on a street, a neighborhood, a city, a nation....you get my point. This is something I have been reminded of while working on the design of the opposite extreme: greeting cards!
Anyway, I think they are incredible images and at $35 a pop, I can't say no!! I'd love a series of four...or six. Here are some of the contenders!

abandoned houses are so haunting. they make me sad when i think of how much pride someone once took in keeping it up. and how all that persons relatives must now be gone to let a house go to shambles.
haunting!! totally agree. i debated whether i loved these images or hated. decided on loved if only for it's ability to engage self-reflection. and, a series framed in a LR? talk about a chic conversation piece!
