"I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich
an expression of life as growth."
Henry Miller

It looks so fragile.
ReplyDeleteit doesnt look like it will last long but I guess it will as it has survived this long already.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo!
Bodie came to my mind immediately when I learned of this month's theme. This is a beautiful black & white that captures its dry starkness nicely.
ReplyDeleteWell, that is a very true quote. Sort of speaks to the human condition doesn't it.

ReplyDeleteHenry Miller is right. Lovely shot.

ReplyDeleteWhy did I miss your photo on the CDP theme list? Is beautifully taken! The tone in black and white is perfect.
ReplyDeleteHenry Miller had a way with words :) this image proves his point Chieftess, excellent shot for the theme.
ReplyDeletedo you like Bodie?
ReplyDeletewe decided not to visit it, as yes, its old, but its "artificially" kept that way... sort of, no?
have you been to desert center? not as old, but very abandoned...
Thank you so much Wilf!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks PerthDP!!!
Love Bodie!!! The buildings are all in a state of decay, but they are also supported, in the sense that they are attempting to "arrest" the decay so that future generations can still experience this little bit of the old west and gold country!!! Thanks CaT!!!
Love this photo! I've never been to Bodie and I really want to see it.
ReplyDeleteYou would love Bodie Pat!!!
