As I'm in Istanbul on the tracks of my origins, this empty house talks to me : one day, it was a house full with voices & souls...... Can you hear them ? I do.... ;/ See you, Grant*
(love the light on the walls)

@jpla: it is right next door to a fast food restaurant, a Burger King - so it has become a terrible location.

Excellent light. Some day this will be someone's castle.

lonely and not at all inviting. You wonder what the story is, why have they left? What did they hope to find and what did reality deal them? Great narrative.

@rhys: they built a damn burger king right next door!

I'm interested in abandoned houses. Unfortunately, there are not many here around. Your photo makes me want to go on trip of discovery in the country.
Like all your photos, My English is soon exhausted. Good shot!

@Nilla: thanks nilla!

A fine subject. I like how you've kept the shadowed side at a natural looking tone. Fine job of shooting and processing.

Nicely seen - and sad. A poster child for these days in America. Well done.

Its funny how empty houses seem to be spiritually uneasy without people living in them, the shot really conveys that kind of sadness that the house feels for being uninhabited

@Richard_Irwin: i agree - houses seem to want people.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States

Looks very well-maintained house. Reminds me of my own house in many aspects :) What were you doing infront of an empty house, hm?

@Howard F.: nearly getting run over this time!

Bill from Belton, United States

Empty but with an unknown story to tell. Great image Grant!

very nice! love those white walls.
looks in awfully good shape to be abandoned. here they are never abandoned - only condemned and certified uninhabitable with a yellow sticker on the front door and then the windows are boarded over. there are 5 in my neighborhood alone - i should post a photo of one.
