Bodie State Historic Park is a genuine California gold-mining ghost town. Visitors can walk down the deserted streets of a town that once had a population of nearly 10,000 people. The town is named for Waterman S. Body (William Bodey), who had discovered small amounts of gold in hills north of Mono Lake. In 1875, a mine cave-in revealed pay dirt, which led to purchase of the mine by the Standard Company in 1877. People flocked to Bodie and transformed it from a town of a few dozen to a boomtown.

I love this viewpoint of the pharmacist's house. I've tried to get it a few times but just can't. I really need a fisheye lens!. The B&W gives it a dramatic look, Well done! P.S. have you every taken a photography tour into the buildings? It's certainly worth the cost of the tour. There are only a few photographers that are allowed to take groups in.

Mark as far as entering the buildings there really are only a few photographers that have the parks permission to tke small groups in. They only allow 3 or 4 people in each one at a time, and there is a ranger with you the entire time. The trips are usually planned 6 or 8 months in advance. I think they allow a few people in specific buildings on Friends of Bodie day.
