The Ghosts of Bodie Photo Gallery by bob reynolds at pbase.com

The Ghosts of Bodie

Bodie is a State Park located in Northern California off of Highway 395. This old ghost town contains an amazing variety of remnants left over from the days of the wild

west. Today, only about 5% of the buildings remain. However, during the peak of the Gold Rush, more than 10,000 people inhabited this town. In it's time,

Bodie had a reputation as being one of the most wicked towns of the west. Street-fights, holdups and gunfights occurred almost daily.

These are exceptional iimages. A good way to portray images of Bodie is in B&W. You get a real nostalgic atmosphere from them that way.

BREATHTAKING GALLERY, but it's not fair! What a place!

Very picturesque. It's like people just took off from one minute to the other, leaving everything where it was. Is this guarded or not? So many things seem to stay in place, it's almost unbelievable there's no looting of any kind.

A very satisfying gallery!

I just love all these images, everything just looks so un-touched and natural. I can't imagine seeing these scenes in person

Wow! These are amazing. If could produce one like this I'd be happy. How do you do it?

I find black and white perfect for this gallery, this feeling of "out of time" this atmosphere between dream and nightmare. A very impressive serial of images. marisa
