I recently came across Kevin Bauman’s 100 Abandoned Houses website, which is a collection of his photographs of abandoned homes throughout the Detroit area.

There is something mesmerizing about these old, abandoned homes. One can only wonder about their history and past inhabitants.
I find some of the homes eerily inviting. I’m a curious kind of chick, and the allure of all things past combined with the period architecture as well as each home’s desperate state intrigues me.

In many of the photos, not only time, but nature has taken over; trees, shrubbery, bushes and weeds wrap like arms around the homes…nature enveloping what humans have long abandoned...

...almost as if to comfort and keep still the rotting dilapidated remnants of what once was grandeur.
