About the only thing left with life is the blinker. All the stores have closed in this town.

Great shot with this perspective. The b&w increases the feeling of desolation. "V"

So interesting to see as here down-under we have many rural towns like this.

Sad, but a lot of Michigan looks like this. V. The feeling is very well captured.

A fine shot of this rather run-down looking street, Char. The toning is perfect for this image. (V)

It's such a shame to see these old small towns deteriorate. I'm sure there are ghosts in abundance lurking about. A very effective shot!

It looks like hard times have fallen on this town, Char! Terrific image!

Very well presented and captured in B&W Char. Sad to see these towns just deteriorate and disappear.
