Death Row - a photo on Flickriver

Death Row

            Twilight envelopes an abandoned house as it awaits its fate here in the village. The structure has already been scheduled for demolition; it's just a question of time. I'm holding my breath as I approach the site these days, not knowing if I'll see the familiar roof line come into view, or only emptiness where it  once stood. The waiting is the worst part. Guess I would prefer to photograph the actual razing, but it won't upset me if I miss it. I much prefer to absorb the atmosphere the old house exudes, still standing in these final days. I know the place is looked upon as a blight by most residents. I see houses such as this a counterpoint to modern development. But there's also an inexplicable, almost primordial obsession. I am quite literally attracted to places like this. Have been since childhood when I was first exposed to them through TV. It has become a lifelong passion, not just finding them, but portraying them in the most haunting and eerie possible manner. This one checks every box.
