Bodie Homestead

Posted on by crystal harling

This building is located in Bodie State Historic Park in Bridgeport California, which is a gold-mine ghost town. The structures are all in a state of arrested decay, or have been left as is. You can walk through the dirt streets around and peer in windows.

I have added some hills in the background, and light in the windows. I wanted the stark dry early evening vibe.

Number 22 of the buildings in Bodie.

At one time there were over 7,000 people living there, and 2,000 buildings. Now there are around 100 structures to explore.
