Monuments to death

Was stuck in traffic and as it was inching forward I noticed this barren and apparently dead tree on the median/island and behind it a decades-old condemned building. Was captivated by the juxtaposition. I waited until the car was right in front of the tree to catch this image. Took the pic right through the windshield, pressing the lens as close to it as possible to minimize reflections.
