'Flyover Country' - Rural Western USA. I have been driving through the USA from Washington to Los Angeles and within the Western states a few times, resulting in a large number of photos. The selection presented here is mainly from the states of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. While these states might still have thriving cities, Denver being the prime example and there are s few more, large parts of the countryside appear abandoned with decaying farms, homesteads and other buildings. Hard to believe that all of those once represented people's dreams and that they - presumably - teemed with life. Nameless small towns are still alive, but they, too, are often eerily quiet. The US has become a country whose center are the coasts and whose periphery is are the central states. No wonder people call those endless plains 'flyover country.'
