Mixed use suburban style: golf course housing “community” located right next to the county prison. This is among many images from Ron Pollard’s new photo survey of American landscape horrors, We Kill Everything. Enjoy the slide show which so strikingly depicts the sorry condition of our nation’s spirit as expressed on the terrain. This should help to illustrate my idea that the immersive ugliness of the USA is entropy made visible. Merry Christmas to all!

    Jim, thanks for the smile. I thought it was a primary school or tennis courts at first (didn’t have the reading glasses on)

    Depressing. . . No sense of aesthetics.

    Wonderful work! I was particularly moved by the photo of the old cyclist playing chess, the young man in the camo pants observing, and the woman lost in concentration. An unlikely gathering, perhaps attempting to steal some serenity from a world of squalor…poignant – damn near heart wrenching.
