The Wild West at Night

The "Wild West" was epitomized by rough, lawless towns.  Many of them were mining towns, and the best surviving example may be Bodie.  Preserved as a Bodie State Historic Park, a lot of money and effort goes into maintaining it in a state of "suspended decay".

This is the first of my images from our Bodie night photography workshop Saturday night.  Nice to see the Milky Way "cross the road"!  Our last Bodie workshop of  the year will be October 4-5: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/ +Bodie Photo Workshops   #bodiestatehistoricpark   #ghosttownphotography   #nightphotography
