Distorted wide angle perspective photograph of the ruins of the bank building in the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada.

I spent considerable time shooting the remains of this bank building. Given how impressive it is today even in its deteriorating state, it must have been quite a building 100 years ago.

Black and white photograph of steps and columns in the ruins of the old Rhyolite Bank in the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada.

While photographing some of these old, abandoned buildings I was struck by how much they reminded me of far more ancient and famous ruins.

Exteriors walls of the ruins of the Rhyolite School. Rhyolite, Nevada. Oddly, the school seems to be one of the better preserved structures in this Nevada ghost town – even the banks have suffered more over the years. Not to suggest that it is in great shape – the roof is gone along with all of the windows and doors – but the walls are still standing for the most part.

Light Beams Over the Panamint Mountains

Light Beams Over the Panamint Mountains

Light beams over the east face of the Panamint Mountains above Death Valley. Viewed from the east side of the Valley near Badwater.

I’ve been very lucky to encounter this phenomenon more than once when I’ve been in Death Valley. Although I know that most of the time it can be perfectly (too perfectly) clear there, I’ve seen clouds build over the Panamints in the afternoon during my April visits and then thin just enough late in the day to let these light beams shine through and illuminate the lower reaches of the Panamint Range.
