Untitled - San Francisco Bay. San Francisco, California. May 9, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.

A waterfront scene near the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California.

I often go to The City and wander along the Embarcadero and nearby areas with my camera. This photograph was made near the boat landing right behind ATT Park - home of the Giants. There are often large ships anchored out beyond this part of the San Francisco shoreline, and they are a continuing subject for me.

Windows, Rhyolite School. Rhyolite, Nevada. April 2, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.

Windows of the abandoned school in the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada look out over the Amargosa Desert. Students in the school who gazed out the western windows of the building were looking across a high sagebrush-filled valley at the range running along the eastern boundary of what is now Death Valley National Park.

Rhyolite School Interior. Rhyolite, Nevada. April 2, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.

Photograph of the interior of the Rhyolite School in the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada.

Since it has been a little while since I posted the previous photo from this location, a little background. Rhyolite is a Nevada ghost town located near Beatty and just east of Death Valley National Park. The school building is one of the better preserved structures, although the roof and all interior fittings are long gone.

Rhyolite Bank at First Light. Rhyolite, Nevada. April 2, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.

My brother and I photographed these bank ruins and surrounding artifacts in the abandoned ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada - starting before dawn and continuing for the next few hours. This photograph was made just as the first light began to illuminate the town site through high clouds. This bank building is one of the least damaged buildings in the town.

I’m fascinated by how these buildings have weathered over the past century, being situation in a very hostile environment. In some ways it is amazing that they have proven durable enough to remain partially standing, but in other ways they remind me of very ancient ruins.

Building Detail, Bodie. Bodie, California. May 27, 2006. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.

Detail of an old building in the ghost town of Bodie, California. Photographed during late spring snow flurries.

(Yes, there really is snow falling in this photo. You might be able to see it a bit if you click on the thumbnail to see the somewhat larger size. I was caught - somewhat pleasantly - by surprise when I encountered this rather cold weather at the end of May in 2006.)
