This section's name comes from a line from Asheville native Thomas Wolfe's "Look Homeward Angel".   "Oh lost and by the wind grieved. Ghost come back again. "

These are images from a lost world. Most of these photographs  were done 30  to 40 years ago.   Asheville wasn't quite as tourist crazy as today and was more a part of the surrounding area.  I mourn these places and people in Asheville  that have been lost.  Some died, some burned and most were lost to government deregulation, urban renewal and  neighborhood gentrifacation.
