Northern Virginia, USA is an area badly hit by crisis in property market. These shots were taken in the summer of 2008, when the "World Crisis" was not an issue yet. But hundreds of thousands of houses were already foreclosed and abandoned, with no chance for their sale. Property value had dropped by half within one year. This is where it all began. Then everything started to fall like the dominoes - banks collapsed under the weight of bad debts and the industry went down with them.
