Sorry for this confusion.
Unheimisch and unheimlich are German words which have about the same
meaning.
Unheimisch has been taken over by the Dutch because of its meaning which
cannot be easily translated by a single word.
In Dutch it means more or less ominous, uncomfortable.
But the Germans nowadays mainly use unheimlich.

Google Translate thinks it's German and translates it as "non-native".
Not sure why it first chose to translate it into Russian, but once I
told it I wanted "English", that's what it came up with.

Thanks Henk, Bob and Larry for your comments!
Henk - I had to look up "unheimisch" I'd say the nice color had a lot
to do with the angle at which the sun was hitting the board.
Larry - Yup - leaving the shadows with little detail enhances that I
think.
Bob -very bizzare stuff with the hotlink! Right - that protective
scaffolding ain't so protective. rather nicely fits with the theme tho.

Ann, nice colors of the graffiti (thanks to the K5?).
But it looks indeed unheimisch there, moreover with that question
there to which the writer wants no answer.

Yes, it does look like a night scene with the lighting coming from
bright artificial light.. but it was actually taken at almost 9 am
with light meter on auto, reading off the brightly sunlit
graffitied wall. - I posted this on facebook and an old friend was
worried about me being out at night in my neghborhood :-). It looks
deserted, because it is . Labor day weekend - most residents
have fled and the NYU and other educational establishment classes
haven't started yet.
K5 with the DA 18-55 - I actually took the Pentax with me as I
wasn't planning on buying heavy things and the weather was good for
a walk. MIght bring it with me today again, as I have to hit
Adorama for a light magenta cartridgedesperately needed.
