I've been poring over maps of election results today, and naturally this triggered my obsession with geography and exploring places on google street view. So I've been exploring America, going wherever my fancy takes me, and in the end I alighted on:
Sandgap, Kentucky
This is a tiny place in Jackson County, apparently in a pretty godforsaken part of Kentucky. The place looks rough indeed, although it does have an elementary school and a church which also functions as a youth centre. But whatever, this whole post is just an excuse to gush over what really caught my attention, which is this house:
It's known as the Abel Gabbard house. Just look at it. I have a soft spot for picturesque, delapidated houses, so now I feel an urge to move to some miserable place in Kentucky just to make this one habitable. It's what I imagine the villa of Pippi Longstocking looks like (at least there are plenty of porches for a horse to live on). And somehow the trees and the house harmonise perfectly. Fun fact: the house is actually older than the village itself: it was built in 1890. Anyway, back to you, Mindfullness
