We found this place on a small country lane on the north side of Ocala...out in the woods. There was no sign of life anywhere. There is, as you can see, junk piled everywhere. But an anomaly: in the front yard, just off the porch is what appears to be a very colorful child's toy of some sort.
A conundrum, for sure!
That is odd. One of those things that makes you go hmmmmm.
ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeletestrange but true!!
A nice contrast between old and new, drab and colorful, poor and rich. Pictures abound everywhere.
ReplyDeletesurprenant en effet. j'aime cette vieille maison
ReplyDeleteAmerican horror movies have extensively teached us to run away from this kind of houses...
ReplyDeleteI like the rusty roof. Well, it does look pretty abandoned to me but you can never be sure. At least the lawn looks as it was mowed some time ago.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's the place or the photographer, or both, because your pictures are always so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI know someone with a similar front porch. That ramp is interesting. Does it mean someone with a disability lived (lives) there? And how complicated would it be moving a wheelchair around in a home containing a lot of stuff?
ReplyDeleteThis kind of reminds me of days gone by. Driving through Appalachia and seeing washing machines on the front porch. I was never sure if they worked or were just status symbols.
ReplyDeleteHi! Am now visiting you here rather than at The Villages that you're closing down. I like what I see here, too! Yes, the toy does look out of place---actually, that may be the October Theme Day...I'll go check.
ReplyDeleteLooks abandoned...but who knows what was there, or who lived there....
ReplyDeleteMaybe they have a mailbox with a name on it...
Hmm... maybe they're just out for awhile? Or the aliens got them.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look too overgrown, so maybe it hasn't been abandoned for very long. That tin roof sure looks rusty!
ReplyDeleteIt's time to clean things!Or maybe they are painting inside.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love those horses!They are wonderful!

Another seemingly abandoned house ... sad .. and fascinating
ReplyDeleteThat is a great rusty roof on the old place. I wonder if someone lives there or if a child left a toy after a visit for fixing or cleaning. Interesting find.
ReplyDeleteI love a tin-roofed old house! The colorful child's toy does suggest someone still lives here. Some people are pack rats, can't get rid of anything. I'm ashamed to say, but my next door neighbors have a non-working washing machine on their front porch. Beem there since last summer. Maybe I should take a pic LOL
ReplyDeleteVery curious indeed. Makes a very interesting photo, one that leaves the onlooker something to ponder.
ReplyDeleteWhat I've noticed is that kids' toys end up in the weirdest places. Thanks for the interesting image!
ReplyDeleteI also love the rusted roof.
ReplyDeleteAbout the child's toy: Remember Arsenio Hall? He had a section of his show called "Things that make you go hmmm." He could have had fun with this.
That toy was the first thing that caught my eye...it looks so out of place.
ReplyDeleteI really like VP's comment. There is a dilapidated Psycho-cabin look to it. The colors of the toy really make one pause before thinking it's abandoned. Spooky place.
ReplyDeleteI love how the toy just sits on the side like that. That's a pretty cool building. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are probably hiding in the woods from the 'townies'. MB
ReplyDeletePerfect set for a mystery movie!
ReplyDeleteMay be they are preparing for a garage sale this week end!!!
ReplyDeleteThe owners should try using "Rust be gone" cleaner! It works sooo well and it's just $39.95!
ReplyDeletepicturesque old place! Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteLove the rusted roof. Rust also happens to be my favorite color. Some time back I had designed quite a few Desktop Wallpapers & Website Layouts...too.. it's just amazing to work with the rust color.
ReplyDeleteP.S the header picture looks awesome.
La magia de esta foto es el contraste del hierro oxidado, con los colores del juguete. Lo que perece en el tiempo y lo que dura, en este caso el plástico, como si fuera recien comprado. Un saludo.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture. Truth is though I wish that colorful toy, while being an odd addition, wasn't there. This shot has so much potential as a sepia or monochrome image. Framed in an old wood style frame...... it would be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThat scene with the train bridge and boat was in fact shot in Hastings. Good eye. I have been under it many times. Even without the train it is an uneasy feeling to be there. With the train... your heart races.
could be someone think this is place to dump things? so colorful toys were recented put here... beautiful shot still :)
ReplyDeleteAll Little Things I Like
Whata contrast between this and the one under it! Super colors and clarity!
