Looks very inviting, doesn’t it? A covered lanai in the late afternoon sun with a comfy, rattan sofa to relax on. The lanai above this is even more inviting, with a view toward Maui, currently blocked by trees.
But this is my neighbor’s old house, currently unoccupied and falling further into disrepair, with broken windows and a floor collapsing. I’d be leery of sitting on this sofa for fear of what’s living in it or that it might collapse. There’s also a chance that the hot tub on the upper lanai, could end up dropping on your head.
So perhaps, like many things these days, this is an invitation best experienced virtually.

I do think it’s a shame. The colours in your photo, with the narrative, really are appealing. A bygone era.

It looks great, but like many things in life, looks can be deceptive!

It’s a pity it has been let go. I’d sit there. Light and shadows are so good 🙂

It was a good evening for the light and shadows. That’s the main reason I was down there!

Our lives are turning virtual. But I enjoyed sitting there in the sun and watching the trees in the breeze… virtually.

Glad you liked it. It’s a great spot, quiet and private, and just looking at the scene relaxes me.
