Description

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been so scarce lately, but I was training for a new job. I'm happy to say I passed all my tests and will soon be employed by the local school in my town! This could mean no more 100 mile commute, but until I get on full time, I will keep my other job a couple days a week. So I will still be getting some great shots this winter! This is very close to where I live and part of an old historical area where the train used to stop before going to Bodie in the "Gold Rush" days. Thanks for looking in and have a great day!

Love the derelict old shacks. Thinking B&W is just right for this. Nice work lighting the forefront. Glad to hear about your tests and job! Congrats!

I have to say that it is very cool that you passed your test and you can work closer to home. During the winter the drive can get tricky between Mammoth and Benton lol! Hope to still see you around! I love this shot by the way, really looks good in the B&W! 8-)

Timing is everything and this one reflects being at the right place at the right time! I ust love the vairous contrast level, especially how the light breaks through the cloud layer that keeps the hills dark but the forfront light and then again the beautiful switch in contrast just above the ridge on the left side. Thank you for sharing. egmont

I can just hear Ansel Adams roling over in his grave, moaning with envy over your image. An absolute delight!

It is hard to imagine that someone once lived there and tried to make a living in that land. But the picture speaks to the unique beauty of that area, western Nevada I presume. Your shot remids me of the black and white infra-reds of years ago that also used to produce such vivid contrats.

Thanks for stopping by my gallery and saying hi... This is a cool picture. Reminds me of this huge 3 story barn I use to drive past. In the center was a huge hole like something fell from the sky - the whole roof was "bowled"... I had to drive past it a few times to a job I had. I planned on grabbing my camera. as I went to work, I remember thinking the "lighting" is perfect as I drove past it - darn, I forgot my camera... tomorrow, definately I will bring it... On my way home, I drove past it... the owners had demolished it.... This building is in a lot better shape - lol... Yeah, I like to take pictures of the old buildings like this too - when I have a camera - lol HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
