Welcome to Day 48:) Today we are going to take a look at Urban Decay. Also known as urban rot .. it's the process where a previously functioning city .. or part of a city falls into disrepair. It might include abandoned buildings, desolate landscape, or just some forgotten part of the city.
Including the visual, psychological and physical effects of living among empty lots, buildings and condemned houses.
We have seen the beauty .. now lets take a look at the seedier side of where we all live.
Here are a few examples to get us started.

Hey , I love your barns and sugar houses, but I guess we will have to wait for another day. Most of my days are spent in the country. Like Pat , I also have lots of "rural decay".
