Main Street

A lonely place till the weekend when private planes arrive on the grassy airstrip to eat at a small restaurant. It's the only business in town and only open on weekends.

My kind of place! BV

The scope of your black & white is amazing. This looks like it could be a set for a Hitchcock movie.

Superb composition. V

Looks pretty desolate right now. Love the processing and the composition. V

I have stood and taken photos from this exact spot, give or take a few feet, and am in awe of what an artistic and high impact image you have created. Perfect processing for it too. ~VVV~

The sepia tones add to the melancholy of the scene. Stunning that some people come by plane to eat there... V.

perhaps they serve chicken wings for the fly-in crowd...astute comp to underscore the apparent remoteness here..

Powerful image with these tones and subject matter. So well composed too. "V"

this is beyond rural. As if we've gone back several decades. VV

Another good shot Neil... reminds me of a scene in "the Right Stuff"

Beautiful western scene - must be as old as the water tower - I even spotted a caboose (V)

Love the monochrome style tones. Sharp image of this shutdown looking Main Street. I like to see the menu from the restaurant.... V

Fantastic composition and love the titling water tank and like something from the old west

I agree with Jose. The food must be something when people will come by private plane. Fascinating that it is seemingly in the middle of nowhere! Love your image of it. V

Food must be really good to go there by private planes.V.
