156/365: One Last Bloom.

Stopped at another abandoned property on my commute home tonight. This time, I’m on Mississauga Road in Brampton, right across from Lionhead Golf Course. I hope this house has some sort of heritage property designation as I find it to be a piece of art, and it’s got Kaneff development signs surrounding it that lead one to believe it’s going to get flattened for a commercial development. I started off taking photos of the house with the construction equipment (that will likely be the home’s demise) in the background, then I saw this large red flower out front. It was the only “non wildflower” to be found on the property, and seems to be growing in defiance to the developer’s plans. For the photo, I decided I wanted to emphasize this flower by focusing on it with the home in the background, and also I had plans to desaturate the home when I was composing the shot. I’m rather pleased with how it turned out.
