Brian said “What has been happening recently is a bit of fragmentation around the world, a disconnect. But we always have been made up of pieces.” He wants to see some of my fragments photographically.
Forgotten History
Bodie Historic State Park in California is a photographer’s dream location for fragments of history. Located in the Eastern Sierra Mountains it now is a historic ghost town. Left as it was.
An outside look. Here I tried some photo editing. HDR, Adobe Photoshop, some B&W





A look inside









Bodie Cemetery. Many children among the gravestones.








Broken Objects


I discovered this gas station on a road in Columbia, California











Natural Fragments



Fragmented Animals
Duck Tails Up









I like to call this “The End”
A wonderful place to visit with so much of the past still around Marlene. I like going to find things among ruins. I smiled at the end of the tail 🙂

Your eye for photography is a delight, always, Marlene. I enjoyed the stroll through Bodie, and your captures at the detail. Your edits were fun too. Have a good rest of your week.
