The mining ghost town of Bodie, California, boasted over 5,000 people at one time -- and many of them went to the church seen here.

    Great lines. They are subtle because they are broken or fuzzy but they really help the eye move and give a sense of motion to an otherwise still scene. You really have a great eye.

    hate to be the historical nerd but Bodie had over 10,000 in 1879. This is a wonderful place and so well preserved being in the high desert. Love the clouds and feel of this.

    the building to the right looks like it is unstable
    great contrast the black church and white clouds
    maybe could be added to Faith?

    Love the b/w here, seems to be appropriate really. That so many buildings could be outright abandoned is amazing but it must have been hard to eke out a living judging by the surrounding landscape. Great shot.

    This looks like places my grandparents take me to reminisce about the olden days. I really like this shot!
