Apparition

This was taken from the car, not in the downtown area but not outside the city, either. It’s a new housing development, which like many others, seems to appear in the middle of nowhere. It’s quite normal to see a beautiful house fronted by a desolate vacant lot, or a neighborhood surrounded by sand. Of course, I imagine roads will be built around, it, but it's still in the middle of the desert.

Interesting, and a bit surreal I must say! But another in a long line of fascinating shots from the desert country! VV

It seems a very nice place with lovely houses in desert matching colors.

This is really quite an interesting image. And to think is in the middle of the desert with no roads around....V.

En effet, c'est surprenant. V

Very interesting. It would seem to me that you would build the roads first and then the homes. What do I know.
