Today's photo is from a short article and photo essay called "Neighborhood Full Of Million-Dollar Homes Is Now An Eerie Ghost Town" at the HuffPost. According to the article, the Beachwood Estates neighborhood in Alberta was built on a floodplain and ravaged by a flood in 2013, after which the government forced the homeowners to move and bought up the homes. The article was published in 2017 and, I presume, the photographs were taken the same year. So, the homes would have been abandoned for approximately 4 years, and show very little wear and tear other than a few fallen branches, one yard with a tipped over playset, and a few other broken odds and ends. Surprisingly to me, the lawns didn't really look overgrown, which makes me think there must be some sort of upkeep of the landscape.
