Description
Vagabund suggested this image should have a story so here's another version, filtered to death, with some words that came to mind as I was creating the original. All from off the top of my head.
~No poetic or artistic work intended~
A new road
oh yes, progress
new road, new homes
oh yes, progress
and perhaps a supermarket or two
oh yes, progress
but wait, stop
looks like this is a resting place
but they're very old
and likely long forgotten
should we stop progress
oh no
Thank you all so much for taking the time to comment on my previous images. Very much appreciated.

Very nice work, looks like an old photo, kudos, well done...
Lovely old photo style and I like your poetry.
I really liked the first version of this scene, but I think this image is even better. Wonderful.
Beautiful...

A wonderful image. Looks like a depression era shot from the dust bowl!
Fantastic scene and Wonderful work.
excellent image, this looks very realistic and i like the b/w, great work my friend !!
Perfect!
Beautiful poem and artwork!
A sad and poignantly beautiful image with exceptional realism. The atmosphere is superb as is the lighting and composition!!!
I prefer the first version, narrowly. The irony of the verse, with its gently restrained hint of bitterness, certainly strikes a chord. Mike
It's almost like the scene is now fading into the past and only the ghostly image remains in our thoughts as progress has reshaped the area. Great words to describe this render. I like both versions of this image.
Wonderful work on this, love the effects and the story
I like this effect just as much.
Magnific - 5+++!
