Featured in “The Wild West Show” – June 2009.

Rhyolite, Nevada is a ghost town just outside the boundary of Death Valley National Park.

It was a town built on gold and the hopes and dreams that the precious metal inspires. Founded in 1904 and abandoned only 15 years later in 1919, it was a very short-lived community.

    What a grand old building that would have been in it’s day. At the very least in it’s decrepidness you have turned it into wonderful art. Love the sky too. Well done.
