Several horizontal images stiched together of this great ghost town.

Very nice atmosphere. I got as far as the gate.

Great shot, one of the best ghost towns around. Amazing how much was left there, guess everyone left due to all of the killing. Thanks for a great pano. Bob

Yup, that's Bodie all right. I've spent some time there -- before I got my dSLR. (I'll go back after I get another housecar.) Folks left because the gold ran out and there wasn't enough wealth left to entice people to stay at 8400ft / 2555m in the rain-shadow of los Sierras Nevada in horrible winters. That is TOUGH country there! Very photogenic though, just a few miles from Mono Lake, a few miles more over Tioga Pass (10000ft / 3000m) into Yosemite. Absolutely fabulous area!

There are some great shots to be had of the cemetery there. Bodie shots also look great in B&W.

I seem to remember the town of Bodie from my cowboy comic book day's as a kid.

Great shot. I'd love to snoop around there for a day or so with my camera...

Nice pano - really well composed.

Thanks for the comments! I really like this location for shooting. My best images are all on slide shot with my Super Program and 20mm rectilinear lens. Someday I'll get a scanner and get caught up with the slide side. This is a wonderful part of California with so much to photograph that is unusual.
