Cool House Just Outside of Joshua Tree

Cool House Just Outside of Joshua Tree, originally uploaded by SoLostAndFound / Bill Lindsay.

I went to see the Doctors that I call on in Yucca Valley. There are only two, and they were in a meeting. It is pretty remote, so I tooled around waiting for them to finish so I could see them. Yucca Valley is right by Joshua Tree National Park. As I was driving up to see the park, I was surprised by the house that I saw, they were really cool houses. Here are a few.   I wonder if you can rent them, it would be fun to stay there and then be close to explore the park early and late....

Thanks for looking.

Day 200, Abandoned House, 26912 Lugonia, Redlands, California

200 Days in and I find it interesting that number 200 is an abandoned house. I find abandoned buildings really interesting. This was a place that someone lived and worked at. They probably had friends over maybe kids, and it must have been a peaceful place. It was fully surrounded by orange groves. Now they are mostly pulled out. There was even a little cement pond at the side. Across the street is a new building with medical offices. This is was probably slated for new construction as well, but with the economy dumping like it has, It will probably just sit like this for awhile.

I have been addicted to Lost American and Google Earth lately. Check out his photostream on flickr, it is some cool stuff.

Lost America

His book is really cool. I definitely want to try to shoot some stuff like his.

Thanks for looking. Here are some other shots.
