Bodie Ghost Town
Bodie State Historic Park is a genuine California gold-mining ghost town. The town is named for Waterman S. Body (William Bodey), who had discovered small amounts of gold in hills north of Mono Lake. In 1875, a mine cave-in revealed pay dirt, which led to purchase of the mine by the Standard Company in 1877.
Bodie is located in the eastern slopes of the Sierra in California, close to the Nevada border and Mono Lake (only less than 30 miles away).

on July 30, 2011Love your processing - this one is so well done - I was in Bodie in 1980 and looked at some of my slides today - it was such a harsh light situation - you really did well on this one to capture such a wide dynamic range
