Abandoned Places – Thousand Oaks – May 08

Enigma House (Part 2 of 2)


Why call it “Enigma House” ?.. One odd feature stood out. With one exception, every fixture in the house remained intact with light bulbs still in them.




Bathroom


A tub with a view










So many warm fires must have burned here and kept thousands warm and buzzing with excitement. Look slightly to the left of the fireplace..


Honey bees


Evicted


Sadly there must have been hundreds of corpses smoked and blacken at the bottom of the nest.


Left in haste?

As has been discussed, this site has been torn down completely at this time. Only this memory remains.

Aww, this one makes me sad. I can imagine it much have been a really beautiful and comfortable place once.

I would certainly aree there. The view alone would have been incredible before the 101 became so heavily travelled.

Light bulbs and killed bees add up to the notion that someone was staying there and wanted light and no stings. Or at least free honey.

I remember watching an episode of The Verminators once where they had to clear out beehives like that. ~shiver~ A little bit scary.

Beautiful pictures. More appreciation of what we leave behind.
