Oh, I just love this one. This house's front yard is being used as its own graveyard!



That's the front porch canopy, detached and left to rot on the house's front steps. There's something rather cannibalistic about it.

The house has obviously suffered a fire, after which it was freshly boarded up. Wonder if it was boarded up before the fire?
