We'll leave the light on for you

door with light in windowAbandoned houses almost always have their doors standing open. It’s as if they are lonely for the people who once inhabited them.

“Come home! I miss you.”

This one takes the invitation a bit more seriously than most. In all the abandoned buildings I’ve photographed, only this one appears to have left the lights on. House seems to be begging for company.

“We’ve left the light on for you,” it says.

Of course, that light has to be coming from the massive holes in the walls. If anyone was foolish enough to walk into that house, that person would likely not come back out unless carried out on a gurney.
