Ghost Towns

Bodie is a ghost town near Mono Lake and a location favorite of mine. This visit was in early spring while there was still significant amounts of snow on the ground. The quality of light from the blue sky overhead and reflected from the snow enhances the detail in this shot.

On our way to the Paria Plateau we stopped and had lunch with Michael Fatali, a great nature photographer who shoots 8x10 color positives. He has a wonderful home and studio in Rockville. He also owns an old market/gas station across the street which has this wonderful old gas pump. This is a shot of the works from the back.
