@mattblaze@federate.social I'm pretty sure I saw that house in a movie, a small indy about a man who'd been alive since caveman times.

@mattblaze@federate.social I drove through that area last week and I remembered your photo, I thought I spotted the building about 200 yards off to the side of I-15 not far from the Harvard Road exit.

@karlauerbach@sfba.social Yeah, I think that's it.

Captured with a DSLR and a 24mm shifting lens, shifted vertically to preserve geometry.

The tiny ghost town of Harvard, one of a series of often extravagantly named, largely abandoned communities near the Union Pacific Railroad and former Route 66 in the Mojave, was perhaps a victim of an Interstate highway system that passed it by.

I think the couch is still there, if you need one.
