LOL That’s a good one! Have you ever been to Bodi, Jeni? A real California Ghost Town.
It is SO amazing! A whole town …literally buildings, cars, furniture….all left as if “something” was getting ready to go down and people just ran for the hills leaving their homes and stuff behind them. I had forgotten about the photos I took…this was one of them!
I’ve never been there, though I have actually painted it. I did a commission several years ago from a couples panorama of photos of Bodie, plus they wanted me to paint them onto a bench on the nearest porch. The tough part was that this porch was in shade, so I had to reverse all the shadows to put sunlight on the porch and make them visible. A very interesting exercise.
The phrase that comes to mind with this pic is “Rest at last!”
