Downtown Flint, Michigan, USA - the Flint river's shore and a public event held there for Friday night. We visited this rather poor city because I was reading Michael Moore books at the time, who was originally from this car manufacturing town, in steady decline for the last decades. We exited the highway on Friday afternoon before the long weekend in June 2006, and made a few turns in the downtown, finally stopping at a playground so that the kids could get out of the car. The whole town showed signs of urban decay as we expected, nevertheless had a distinct American character which I always liked.
Flint belvárosa Michigan államban, 2006. június - egy nyilvános rendezvény a folyóparton. A hosszú hétvége előtti péntek este érkeztünk ide, autós kirándulásunk első napján, elsősorban azért térve le az autópályáról, mert akkoriban Michael Moore-könyveket olvastam, aki innen származott. A város az amerikai autógyártás egyik központja volt régebben, de a cégekkel együtt a városnak is leáldozott már évtizedekkel ezelőtt, és azóta mindenütt a pusztulás jeleit mutatja. Jellegzetes amerikai kisváros, amik viszont mindig is nagyon tetszettek nekem.

I used to do a lot of mountain bike riding in the Flint Hills region of south central Kansas (USA). I would often come across the ruins of houses on the prairie. Though they were only bricks, stone blocks or rotting wood, I would daydream about what it was like to live there; how many Christmases had been celebrated within the walls? How many lives began and ended inside them? Were they lonely, isolated as they were?
pasture throught the stone fence, from a lovely spring walk in Flint Hill, VA April 2008--thanks to the volunteer firefighter for suggesting it! Janell may have taken this one.
