That is not in all cases though Sketch, there is a house in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where a young woman was killed instantly by a Confederate sniper's bullet during the battle on July 3rd, 1863, her blood is still visible on the pantry walls where the massive .454 bullet terminated her on that fateful day. (it was an accidental shot, the sniper was actually aiming for a squad of officers behind the house, probably set the sights on his rifle too low or high)

The house with the clocks in it's walls, LOL. Nice shot, the greenery and sunlight outside is a stunning contrast.

Separation

Raymond

Funny and sad at the same time-boys and girls looking at each other through the peepholes, trying to find each other's love and comfort in a place where there is nothing but coldness and evil.

To Heather- it's probably just some rust water running down the "window" frame, there are places in Brooklyn where there are a lot of rusted fire escapes on apartment buildings, after a rain, the ground below them looks like a murder scene! It is nothing to worry about.

Sorry 'bout that man, but we have to blame those kids who grew up submerged in potato chips, Diet Cokes, and spend all their time in front of the tube.

Wow! That should be framed and considered a contemporary classic in modern American photography. I'm serious!

It looks exactly like an old-style restaurant on Delancey Street, right next to Chinatown.

I agree with you Ashley, the new generation of Americans have no respect or love for history anymore.

Those tiles look like the cafeteria in my old elementary school, just the same kind of tiles.

Looks like NYC subway tunnel if you stand in the front of train and look out the "railfan" window.

Replace paper targets at 50 caliber rifle ranges with clown effigies. That will be a blast!.....literally and figuratively.

Does the railroad nearby still exist? If it does, it is probably part of the Metro-North system, or maybe even Amtrak, also known as the Northeast Corridor.

It really does, if this picture is unmarked, one would have thought this was in Williamsburg, or some other historic neighborhood in New York.

To Mnementh, speaking of 1940s WWII era comic books, imagine you found a varnished wooden case.....containing a beautiful, excellent World War II .45 ACP automatic pistol with target style rear sights, and the case also contains 15 extra magazines of .45 ACP ammunition, each magazine holds 10 rounds.

Windows

Raymond

The windows must have have chips or cracks in them, that is the only way fern spores could have gotten hold in this room. If you look carefully while you are there you might see dandelions too, they could travel just about anywhere.
