An Eerie Emptiness

Recent travel through Atlanta. Big storm through the Northeast disrupted flights. It happens, no biggie. No fuss.

Eventually made it down to Atlanta. Lots of flights delayed. Including the one bringing the plane in that I'll need to continue my journey.

Time passes.

Atlanta has large banks of display screens allowing the ability to display hundreds of departing flights.

At this moment, there are two flights displayed. In a few minutes, it'll be down to one. Mine.

The airport is largely dark, and quiet.

The world's busiest airport... quiet. Few people roaming around. No steady stream of aircraft landing and departing.

Planes parked quietly, resting in anticpation of another busy day in the air.

Eerie. Peaceful. And very unique...
