Cain Residence, Bodie Historical Park, California, 2006

The most elegant home in the Bodie ghost town belonged to J.S. Cain. While most doors in Bodie are rustic, his door reflects a degree of elegance – including a glass transom and an overhanging portico to keep the snow off the heads of guests and residents alike. I photographed it at sunset, when the transom turned gold. It almost seems as if Mr. Cain is at home, awaiting his visitors.

Yes, Mr. Cain could afford to be a good host. He was among the weathiest of Bodie's residents. His ghost continues to enchant his visitors -- look at what he gave us a Halloween treat:http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/69503980

The amazing warm glow continues... A nice ghostly thought of Mr Cain. He must be friendly and a good host :-)

Mr. Cain is there -- he left his light on for us. Halloween came a few days early for us at Bodie this year.

I love the way this series captures that last light - If Mr. Cain is there he must be a ghost.
