 thanks Art for being such a humanitarian... lol

I have no idea what goes on at this old house but it is almost creepy. I drive by it every day I go to college. Last winter a car showed up there (and I thought it was totally abandoned) but just sat there and accumulated over a foot of snow on the roof and then this spring I went by one day and the car was no longer there. I actually photographed this for one of the photos in a photo essay I had to do for an art class. Even before this I've wondered if it could possibly be someones "meth lab" since it is kind of out in the boonies and looks very much abandoned. Anyway...When I got home and put the photos on my laptop and was looking at them I noticed the spray bottle in the window. From the full resolution photo it looks like it's a Lysol bottle... and all the windows are nicely covered over from the inside with old carpets and cardboard. It just seems kind of suspicious to me but I am probably reading way to much into it.

This is an HDR and then in photoshop I did a slight levels adjustment and a hue/saturation layer to minimally adjust the tones.

Interesting building, however I wonder if a different angle could have given this more impact, rather then the straight on frontal shot........
I don't mind the colours, they match with the abandoned look (this would have been a great subject for the Abandoned challenge a few weeks back.......)
