Bodie Ghost Town, California

There were a number of different artifacts from different ages;
a trailer with wooden spoke wheels, a car from the 20's and
one from the 40's and the even older buildings from the 1880's.
The strategy was to include the artifacts from different time periods
to contrast them against one another to tell a richer story amidst the strewn chaos.

This would look great in b&w too - I do not remember this combination of vehicles when I was there

I enjoyed your gallery - very nice! I followed the link to your gallery from your post about color profiles on the dpreview forum.

Great shot! The great amount of yellows almost give a sepia tone to the photo. V!
