#vallyofashes

“About half-way between West Egg and New York the motor road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. This is the valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air.” #gatsby #instagay #vallyofashes #willetspoint #nyc #fscottfitzgerald (at Willets Point, Queens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3KGqvB8Tj/?utm_medium=tumblr
