Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for your comments on my blog post yesterday. I have to say that I find it very therapeutic to be able to post here and share things with you all. Thanks, Fireblossom, for the recommendation on that book, "The Highly Sensitive Person", I am going to get it.
The video I am sharing in this post is actually the title I am using..."Ghost Town of Carter Nine." I found it really nice, the music was pleasant and relaxing and the old photos were great. It isn't often that I get to see abandoned towns, so I enjoyed it, as I hope you will as well.
The photo I am sharing this time is one I took in 2011. You just need to click on the photo to see it in a larger format.
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I really appreciate and enjoy reading your thoughts, which you can always share by clicking on the 'comments' link at the end of my post.
I am fascinated by such places, but saddened by them, too. Guess it comes from being a sentimentalist.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, Gorges. I posted the video because it very much reminded me of things that I grew up with...but are no longer around, such as the F.W. Woolworth stores. A bygone era.
DeleteI love ghost towns and disused places, though they fill me with melancholy, too. I wonder who lived there, what were their dreams? Why did they leave? Empty houses bother me and attract me at the same time. I wonder if that house was loved at one time.
ReplyDeleteHi Fireblossom, thank you so much for your comment.
DeleteI love the all western ghost towns
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one but would like to.
DeleteThis one flower, it looks like one of those candy striped petunias.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks for the comment, Ginny, I wasn't sure what it was!
DeleteGhost towns intrigue me with their past history. It is sad that they can't be kept in good condition or reused.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Diane.
DeleteUne très jolie publication...
ReplyDeleteJ'aime aussi énormément cette dernière photo... Une sorte de tableau à elle toute seule.
gros bisous à vous
Bonjour, Martine! C'est toujours un plaisir de te voir. Merci beaucoup pour tes commentaires, c'est vraiment apprecie!
DeleteI find this rather sad, and always wonder what went wrong...one can imagine the hopes and dreams of the people who put it all together in the first place and how terrible it must have been to see it disintegrate. In Colorado, where our oldest daughter lives, there are a number of abandoned mines and old towns that are not towns any more. Fascinating, for sure.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great day today! It's very foggy here. But warm.
Hi Lowell, thanks so much for your comment. It is mild today in Montreal as well. :)
DeleteI have always wanted to visit a ghost town...
ReplyDeleteMyself as well.
DeleteWoolworth and Kresge's (the fore-runner of KMart) were called dime stores. Can you imagine there was a time when you could buy stuff for just a dime?
ReplyDeleteIt seems like only yesterday, and I miss those stores so much!
DeleteYou are a nebie to me. I see you have quite a following so you are doing very well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visitng my post too.

Hi Lies, thank you! I tried to comment on your chocolate post but was not able to. I said that it looked very nice!
DeleteO.K., Linda !

Linda...don't know how you found my Journal, but thanks for visiting. I will definitely be back to check on your posts...nice blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lori, I really appreciate it.
DeleteThat book does sound good. I agree with the comments about it being sad to see someone's work and dreams "abandoned". It does make a person wonder what happened.
