Hope Fades...
There was some hope that the Wilgena Pub at the railway town of Tarcoola in South Australia would re-open on the 1st of July 2009.
I took this in August & the population of the town was about 5 people. Everything was closed & falling into disrepair.

Sad commentary on modern life, great reminder of what could be anywhere.

Although a disappointment I am sure for the townsfolk, what an entrance that speaks volumes. So much great color, contrast, textures, lines, shapes and patterns in this image! Great shot!
