atm battling roaches in my apt so first thought looking at that ^ was wondering how many millions of cockroaches lived in that thing.
- actinium226 2y agoAnd not just cockroaches :D It's always bothered me how yellow-tinted this image is. I guess there was a heat wave or maybe they had just finished reseeding the grass or something. Note the "hole" in the center - that's where the alms house was/is.

- actinium226 2y agoYea but the dead grass is adding to that effect and, IMO, exaggerating it. Note how the trees in other parts of the picture still appear green.
- antisthenes 2y agoYes, the trees in the shadow in the top left part of the image appear more green, since they aren't tinted by the sunset.
