Description
Photographing at the Bodie Ghost Town State Historical Park in Bodie, California, one is constantly bombarded with visual delights. It is hard to mess up composition here. This house with its shed with barred windows and, of course, the outhouse just seemed to jump into my view just begging for me to photograph here.
Bodie is a now abandoned ghost town that once was home to nearly 9,000 people. A gold mining town, once the gold seam ran its course, the town dwindled slowly until, by the late 1930’s only a handful of people remained to call it home. Bodie is now a California Historical Park where the state seeks to preserve the remaining buildings as they were found. Note the outhouse being propped up as it leans away from the house it served. Rather than restore it to its upright position, the structure is preserved as it was found when the state took over.
