Abandoned House Aurora

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

Sitting isolated on the prairie of far northern Montana is a former US Air Force base. At the height of the Cold War it was home to 7,000 residents. But since being decommissioned in 1976, almost every house has sat empty and neglected. Most ghost towns consist of a handful of old buildings. But this one is different because the houses are modern enough to belong in just about any town. And there are hundreds of dilapidated homes lining street after street. The harsh climate has taken its toll on these structures. Like something out of a movie set, it was a spooky place to wander around at midnight. That was when the northern lights were at their brightest. Between passing clouds deep reds and greens shined through.
