Yosemite and More

Friedhelm and I went to Hornitos the other day. Been there a number of times and honestly it hadn't changed much, and my expectations were low. It's a small mining town that is literally about 3 blocks long in a 'Y' shape. No side streets except the one that goes to the old church. I decided to post some photos anyway and change them to black and white. There was a full moon but I was disappointed with my photographs so we won't go there. Here's a couple of fixer-uppers. A lone tree on a hill to the east of the town. One of the icons of Hornitos is this old wagon. Go, See, Enjoy and Photograph Dave

A few weeks back a friend and I went to to small town of  Hornitios CA. While we were there I remarked that I hoped that no wildfires would start in the area because there wast a lot of dry grass. If you've followed the news about the Detwiler fire you know it came very close to this great old gold rush town. Here are a few images from that trip. I liked how the sky mimicked the texture of the  hillside. There were wild turkeys all over the place. This one was showing off to his girlfriend but stayed in the tall grass and didn't care if I got a clear shot or not I just wonder what building this set of doors led to and what happened to it. If you've followed me at all you know I like mechanical things (not so much people) and images with lines. Go, See, Enjoy and Photograph Dave
