I love the image and the idea of ghost towns altogether. There's something very beautiful about it, very...poetic :)

I wonder what the inhabitants thought of their lives at the end.

I think everyone has some sort of regret in them, I think it's impossible not to. To realize you at some point made a bad choice. But I think the big difference between people is that some did what they thought was best at the time, while others did not. And some can accept that, while others can not :)

Great post, sir...
