80% of Everything Ever Built in North America...

Those words vibrate through my veins....and get recycled through my heart, and I see a pattern of beauty in it after all. Or maybe it's because you captured the angles and shades so well, it can make anything soulless and sterile seem 'alive'.

The house in the second-last photo is not too bad looking for a recent construction, even though it is somewhat lacking in "soul". Perhaps the soul will be acquired over time, although the building rising behind will make that a challenge.

So many of the other pictures show such a bland sameness. It's a shame that real-estate developers don't see anything but the bottom line anymore. Just imagine if they used more architects and mixed their differing styles up on each block. At least try to make each house on a block unique from the others.

And can you imagine if they actually planned more carefully before clearing the land? Perhaps they could have saved a few strategically located older trees, and helped to preserve some of the original spirit of the place.
