mother nature
Can’t you see I’m falling apart?
By Silver Blue
…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!)

By Silver Blue
Especially the fact that Mother Nature, in all her heat and discontent, still hasn’t stopped my roses from blooming.
I’m also happy with the fact that, as I’ve said I’m an audiophile, that I’ve now acquired a widget on the right of the screen “The Audiophile In Me” — while it doesn’t read the ID3 tags in the files (that’s coming in a later version), at least you’ll be able to hear some of the music I may (or may not) be listening to at the current time. If you want to know what a track is, just ask.
Silver Blue, back to work.
