    It tells a story, but leaves so much untold.

  • Mark Ramstead replied

    You can spend an entire day in this town taking pictures and going on tours. A very hard way of life that has past on for those in the USA. The way things are looking now though, hard times may be making a comeback.

    It is a very creative frame, and I love the weathered wood and textures with the bit of cloth hanging there as if it was caught on a snag. Everything looks so whitewashed. I love your artistic application. It is a fascinating image!

  • Mark Ramstead replied

    Thanks. It is a picture of Bodie Ghost Town I have not seen tried before…

  • Sharon Mau

    Mahalo! I am unfamiliar with this location and so I googled it!

  • Mark Ramstead replied

    I spent a whole day there and it is worth it! Something about the way the wood likes to be photographed.

    AnitaInverarity

    Oh yes I notice they are back now- lots of peeps were asking for the dates back, cos they disappeared- Its pretty mucked up just now (I am finding I’ve missed lots of great work- this
    included). Maybe I just geniuinly missed it myself, its hard to know when the probs started.

  • Mark Ramstead replied

    You need to spend an entire day there! June Lake is near by and a beautiful place to spend the night or two! The snow has to melt first though! Check road conditions.
