Abandoned


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner   Abandoned
Abandoned

Abandoned house somewhere in Maine - I'm sure this house was someone's pride and joy once upon a time - looks like it's lacking the TLC that is required to maintain its original beauty -

Effects added in Photoshop CS3
