This image portrays a part of one of the strangest places I have ever
visited. I can't remember the name of the place, but I came across it
somewhere in western Minnesota or North Dakota. I was on my way
west when I noticed this interesting small farm community off in the
distance to the north of the highway and down as the highway was
elevated at that point. There were a couple of churches, some grain
elevators, gas station, general stores, school, and about thirty houses or
so. With the exception of one house, everything was abandoned and
empty. The one house which seemed to be occupied was surrounded
by a herd of goats. The strange and unusual appearance of the rest of
the town was hightened by the fact that every yard had at least two or
three cars, trucks, or tractors, all dating to the mid 1950's. It really
appeared as though aliens came and took everyone away at one time,
or they all left in a hurry leaving all their belongings behind. Whatever
the circumstances, it was really weird to see. The house in this image
was at the end of a street in this ghost town. I added the two horses
from a photo in my personal file because they seemed to fit into the
picture and brought some magic mystery to an already mysterious
place.
