After posting about this house, I stumbled upon this website yesterday, 100 Abandoned Houses. Kevin Bauman started photographing houses in Detroit over 10 years ago and eventually the whole project morphed into a photo documentary of the rise and fall of a city.
There are a TON of abandoned houses in Ireland now, too -- and not just a bunch of old crumbling cottages. The bust hit here really hard and there are so many new, never-lived-in houses just standing empty everywhere we've gone.
Something about an empty/abandoned house creeps me out...and makes me sad.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they are right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. — Marilyn Monroe
