at 65mm, 1/125 f/8.0, ISO 100, hand held. Bodie Ghost Town H.P., United States.

Bodie è una città fantasma californiana situata a circa un centinaio di chilometri da Bishop. In origine era un piccolo centro minerario, tuttavia la scoperta di numerosi filoni d'ora ha determinato, nel ventennio tra il 1860 e 1880, una rapida espansione della città. Sono giunti nel paese, guidati dalla prospettiva di un facile guadagno, numerosi minatori, avventurieri, assassini, ladri, prostitute tanto da fare di Bodie una "sin city" con il triste resoconto di quasi un cadavere al giorno. Con l'esaurirsi dei filoni d'oro è iniziato il declino della città,distrutta quasi completamente da un incendio nel 1932. Oggi rimane circa il 5% del centro originale, "fantasma" dell'antico splendore e degrado di Bodie.

For Sapf, No: -D: -D: -D
Bodie is a place called, is a former mining town, almost abandoned after the end of '800 and subsequently destroyed by a terrible fire. Today, only the ruins of some buildings and the remains of the machinery used for the extraction and purification of gold.

I'm glad you enjoyed :-)
I can not imagine Bodie Color -D black and white makes better sense of nostalgia for a past that ended ...
ps
the photo of Lombard Street, soon as I saw it seemed wonderful!

I like the choice of bn not too aggressive that you did, recalling some past photos, in the complex it does well with this subject
