This photo of Rancho Cucamonga is from a Boston Globe slideshow titled “Scenes From the Recession,” consisting of 35 photos from all over the world. Powerful stuff.

The caption for the above: “Storm clouds hover near unfinished home lots during a break between storms after the dwindling new home sales market brought construction to a halt at a new home development December 16, 2008 in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Home construction took its biggest dive in 24 years in November to reach a record low.”

Photos 27 and 35 are from Riverside. Photos 26 and 30 have personal meaning for me as a newspaperman. You’ll probably find your own favorites if you take the time to look.
