In June 2013, heavy rains led to a catastrophic flood in the Canadian province of Alberta, causing an estimated five billion Canadian dollars in property damage.

One of the hardest-hit areas was the town of High River, a suburb of Calgary.

In Beachwood Estates, a High River neighborhood full of million-dollar homes, floodwaters rose so high that residents had to abandon their properties, according to the Calgary Herald.

Photographer Seph Lawless documented the homes before they were sold or demolished earlier in 2017. He captured them, abandoned and eerie, awaiting their final fate.
