Exiting Titus Canyon

Steep walls rise hundreds of feet above the narrow road following an ancient stream bed through Titus Canyon. Good thing this is a one way road.

Rockfall, Titus Canyon

Why were these boulders so sharp sided? Answer: they have yet to be tumbled downstream in flash floods, and the effects of weathering - freezing, thawing - have not had a chance to take hold yet. There's plenty of time....

Moon, Column in Titus Canyon

I confess I cheated - I moved the moon from a position far to the right, outside the frame of this photo, to a position much closer to the rock column.

Train Depot - Rhyolite

A chain link fence surrounds the old building; we poked our cameras those an opening.

At one time Rhyolite, an old gold mining town, boasted a population of more than 10,000 people.

Bottle House, Rhyolite

An old house, dating to early in the 20th Century, sits unoccupied (but protected) at Rhyolite.

A relatively large f/stop meant only a small portion of the photograph would be in focus.

Ghostly Cyclist

An outdoor sculpture garden has grown over the years on the outskirts of the ghost town of Rhyolite. A low angle let me crop out a car and some people in the background.
