This old white piano sits inside a tiny room of an old train station abandoned on the prairie.
What wonderful entertainment it must have provided in much simpler times.

Quite a find girl. Love it. And your right. Sometimes we look at a picture and can imagine what took place and the history behind it. A fantastic look at a bit of history that tells a story. So superbly photographed my friend. #10103621Kirsten Kiki Kjaer April 22, 2012
