About this location

An old Orchard farm that I acutally remember visiting back in grade 1 with my class. Not sure when it was abandoned, but I just noticed it boarded up this year. Whoever was living in it must have been a heavy smoker though, at least thats the impression I get looking at the marks left behind on the walls.

P.S I took these pics at night with flash so they aren't the best looking, but they are clear!

I prefer going at night! It adds an element to the exploration that can only be achieved with darkness! However, the pictures obviously suffer as the trade off..

It takes a special explorer to check out an abandoned house at night, I'd say. good eye.

Too bad, that was a neat old property & orchard. Probably just end up as a big rectangular warehouse.

Drove by there on the 23rd of May, excavator on site & the steel barn with "City Orchards" painted on it has been demolished.

construction workers were unloading heavy equipment as I drove past. It looks like demolition will be starting very soon.

There's so many around now everywhere. I had to stop on a dirt road last week to let a bunch cross. One turned towards me and spread his tail feathers, I didn't get my camera ready in time to capture it. Deer too. Don't take your eyes off the road at night.

I saw a rafter (I had to look that up) of turkeys on this property a couple of weeks back.

That little birds nest decoration thing is...interesting! Not sure I'd want it hanging on my walls! But great find and nice set.
