This blog has been sitting vacant for over a year now. It has become its own little cyber ghost town. The silence has been good. But enough already. It is time to put hand to heart, to put pen to paper, to put up or shut up.
The photo shows The Quabbin Resevoir. The Quabbin's creation required the flooding, in April 1938, of four towns: Dana, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott. In addition, 36 miles of the Boston and Albany Railroad's Athol Branch were abandoned.
When the homes and buildings in the towns flooded by the reservoir were destroyed, the cellars were left intact. Old roads that once led to the flooded towns can be followed to the water's edge.
I chose this pic because it represents what I am interested in most: The relationship between how things look on the surface and what lies below.
