A selection of shots from Rhyolite ...... a ghost town on the edge of Death Valley NP, around 4 miles west of Beatty.

For some reason this one screamed B&W to me:

Nice work David. I really like the first, but I think it may help to darken the sky a bit. Since it's got that darker, more mysterious mood to it, I think it may help the image to bring it down a little more. Just thought I'd offer up a suggestion.

Nice work on the ghosts by the way, are they always there like that? I didn't make it out while I was in DV in January, maybe I should have!

Hi David,

I like especially the first one, only wish the sky would be less bright. I got to put this place on my to-go list!

Very cool photos. I've always wanted to venture out to Death Valley. This seems like one of the places I'll have to stop by!

I really like the mood of the 1st shot. Did you enjoy your excursion here? There are so many things to see in Death Valley and they are so far apart that I never made it to Rhyolite.

Very nice and interesting images, David. For me technically first one is best but all the others are just as nice.
