I can spend a lot more time browsing Flickr than I can afford; am particularly struck by a series of photos by an American teenager called Jon Bradley titled 'Rural abandon'. They are very striking, and being black and white for the most part, are dramatic and moody. You can find them at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jon_bradley/sets/72157594572743056/
I haven't had any luck in directley uploading an image, so need to explore if there is a block on some of the images.
