If looking for good shots in unsafe areas,it is always advisable to travel in pairs.I saw this before while traveling alone one day,but was not stupid enough to stop and run in with expensive looking equipment(that is almost like jumping into a river full of hungry piranha).This day I happened to have somebody with me and we stopped outside,immediately drawing some serious glances from some locals.He kept the car running while I dragged the camera and already attached tripod out of the car.I told him to blow the horn if anybody made any suspicious moves and ran into the front yard area of this,so I thought,abandoned home.
I wanted a really close up in your face wide angle of the abode,but lost my nerve just before getting too close.I dropped down the tripod and fired off three shots just as I heard raised voices.What caught my attention while processing this was the tv in the front yard... :-)

Great story and even better shot.
the sky is a terrible menace
Good job! Agree with pandanino:) Very moody!
South Africa? Neat story. Processing is good.
Like a secret place behind the wall.
