Abandon hope, ye who enter here!


This is an abandoned house on the southeast side of Ocala, near where we used to live. It's been abandoned for a number of years and is slowly being swallowed up by Florida flora. There's a smaller house near this one that was abandoned just a few years ago and is now completely covered by bushes and trees.

    It doesn't take long for nature to reclaim.

    Very sad to see abandoned homes. Nature will pick it up.

    It's a sad sight when there are so many homeless people in the U.S.

    Scenes like this always make me wonder about the back story. What happened so that it got to this condition?

    I think hope was abandoned when the last residents left. I agree with Randy.

    So many people who are homeless and a place like this goes to ruin. Something WRONG here.

    It always amazes me how the jungle swalled entire cities that have been rediscovered centuries later, like Angkor, Tikal or Machu Picchu or even very recently the Mayan city in Mexico whose name I haven't memorized yet.
