The mining ghost town of Bodie, California, boasted over 5,000 people at one time -- and many of them went to the church seen here.

    Great lines. They are subtle because they are broken or fuzzy but they really help the eye move and give a sense of motion to an otherwise still scene. You really have a great eye.

    hate to be the historical nerd but Bodie had over 10,000 in 1879. This is a wonderful place and so well preserved being in the high desert. Love the clouds and feel of this.

    Love Bodie and I hope to go back there in November. Good shot and great for the theme. The folk who used this church needed strong faith during the hard winters that they would survive until the spring.

    the building to the right looks like it is unstable
    great contrast the black church and white clouds
    maybe could be added to Faith?
