Observe this!
This is one of the abandoned houses atop Mount Hamilton where the Lick Observatory resides. The land is owned by (I believe) the University of California.
The observatory is in a beautiful location above San Jose but it's a real bear to get to. A long ultra curly road. Not one of the curly roads my race car driving SO likes but a real, can't-drive-over-15-miles-an-hour curly road. It's still worth visiting if you ever get the chance. It's one of the few places to find derelict buildings and lots of historic pictures of the observatory which was founded in 1888! It's hard to drive up there now. They had to drag everything up there by the original horsepower! Very cool story. If you're interested, here's a good link:

Hello Puppatina, I loved reading your profile, it cracked me up. I do not think you are a little slow, whats this thing about blondes, I bet you are one of those brilliant brilliant women who just want people to under rate them so the can give them a huge whallop :P
This is a lovely shot, did you shot this in monochrome or did you convert it in any editing software?
