The Eyes of Silver Blue

Can’t you see I’m falling apart?

…armed with love, I could save my heart, but on my own I just can’t make it, I’m too weak to fight, so take it…*

Some shots taken in the backwoods of North Carolina in February 2007. The heart and soul is still in this buildings, but they slowly die…

For whom does the bell toll? No one, it would seem.

A former filling station/convenience store, perhaps.

Another shot. Someone’s trying to keep it from falling apart, it would seem.

I knew the housing market had crashed, but this is a bit extreme. But these places sit…and slowly fade away.

I loved this shot, for it’s simplicity and…

…because the curtains in the upstairs windows that remain are billowing out of the broken glass. I wonder what memories were made here, that have been lost to the ravages of time.

Silver Blue… who realizes that people are very much like these photos… sometimes, they can be just an empty shells of their former glory.

(* Blue, Wham!)
