Ballarat is a ghost town in Death Valley, California. There's not much left of this old mining town, though this wagon and that small building towards the salt flats are still standing. The little stone building was the jail.

Great western shot Doug. It makes me think of the old western "Along The Great Divide."

This is a great shot Doug. Of course I love the western subject matter. I like the angle you shot this at and the tones are perfect . Nicely done.

Your b/w treatment adds to the sense of desolation. Nice composition.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Really like this Doug, splendid post work and capture. The upright form on the right near the building almost looks like a ghost walking the street

A nice perspective in the photo and great subject matter. The only thing missing are the sun-bleached bones of the mules that pulled the wagon.
