Black and white photograph of late spring snow flurries in the ghost town of Bodie, California. Bodie is the famous and relatively well-preserved ghost town in the silver mining area of the high desert east of Yosemite National Park. (Posting the series of Rhyolite photographs made me realize that I have some older photographs of Bodie that haven’t been posted here yet.)

Wide angle photograph of the ruins of the Rhyolite School exterior at dawn. While the strong walls of this building are still standing, the roof and interior fittings are all gone.

Dawn at the ruins of the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada. The remnants of one of the town banks is in the foreground, and the school building is seen in the distance. Beyond is the Amargosa Valley and the Amargosa Range in Death Valley National Park.

This photograph was made during a brief interval when the light went from rather flat and dull to lighter and warm as the sun briefly shone through the high overcast.

Window on the Desert, Rhyolite School

Looking through a window in the Rhyolite School ruins towards the distant desert. Rhyolite is an abandoned ghost town, and this school building is largely in ruins.

While Rhyolite and this school building are not in Death Valley National Park, they are part of the greater Death Valley area. The terrain visible through the window in the photo is the Amargosa Valley and Amargosa Range beyond, both of which are in the eastern section of the park.
