I visited Bodie, California in 2007. You can find my impressions and more photos in the Drive 2007 - Day 14 article.

A wide shot of "Mill Hill" in Bodie. The grass in this area shows a surprising amount of variation outside the visible spectrum.

One of the most nicely-restored houses in Bodie, this one makes frequent appearances in visitors' photos. The wood used for the siding of this house exhibits the same interesting "cedar" and "purple heart" tones as the dressing table above, so I imagine they're from the same kind of tree.

Even though I could have done a better job on the composition of this photo, it's still my favourite from Bodie. I love the odd design of the cart, and the bright multispectral colours of the ever-present local grass.

Not all of Bodie has been fully-restored. This building seems to have been boarded up until its turn comes around.

One of the many enormous pieces of dismantled machinery in Bodie. This one appears to be a pair of giant winches (for dragging lumber?).

This collosal flywheel - looking for all the world like a relic of a parallel reality in which one of Wernher von Braun's space stations has crashed to Earth - is another great example of the seemingly random pieces of old machinery littered about the town. The effect is as though a young giant has been playing with a late-19th-century factory and left the pieces scattered around when something else caught his attention.
