Color photograph looking across a residential street on a bright sunny day at the front of a disused two-and-a-half story duplex, faded siding and crumbling roof, some windows boarded up or tarped over, some kind of notices taped to a boarded up door on the porch, some litter in the grass by sidewalk, bright green evergreen trees standing up by the corner of the house.

Color photograph looking across a wide street on a bright sunny day, across a grass-covered lot at the side of a disused red wooden house. Its windows have been covered with shiny this plastic, and the windows along the main floor side of the house have been painted with the design of a Palestinian flag. There are a pair of large trees with scraggly branches that are just budding standing in the grass by the house, obscuring part of the house and casting dark scraggly shadows over it
