And 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.

It's literally just a sunset (which adds a rose-yellow tint). You can tell by the building shadows.


Yea 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.

Yes, the trees in the shadow in the top left part of the image appear more green, since they aren't tinted by the sunset.
