The Empty Streets I Walk on...

I took quite a few photographs today, and I decided to split them up into 2 different posts. This one features the other buildings/sites I found on my walk today. I chose to capture the abandoned buildings in the main business area of Grand Coulee, for there are many, sadly. This small town nearly shuts down during the winter months, and quite honestly doesn't have too much more to offer during the summer, aside from outdoor recreation.

It feels like a ghost town to me. Devoid of human beings, and I feel I may run into zombies or dead spirits around every corner. Not to say the people here aren't living perfectly fine lives, at least for them, but I just don't think I can last much longer in this desolate place.

The gritty, desolate vibe does transcribe well in photos, however. This I am thankful for.

 These first two photos describe how Grand Coulee feels to me at times. "The Car Ran without Gasoline"...this place functions, and things happen, but it seems that there lacks spirit and energy to go along with the life here. Weathered and run down, but it still goes on. Ever the same.
