We went up to Calico for Thanksgiving or for us Native Americans- What Were We Thinking Day and we had great time. We brought our up 2 tipis and our 4 friends brought their 2, so we had a nice Native camp for the people. Here are some of the sights around town...

Well now you know I said it was a ghost town..

A little fire face....

Comments welcome!
Blessing!

Great composition in all. To echo what everyone else said, b&w was the perfect choice. What's the story behind the ghost town? Wonderful post!

Well actually there was a mine there that produced Silver for about 2 year. There was was a settlement, but it was much smaller than what's in the "Ghost Town" now. I have picture of that too.

Totally enjoyed seeing these, Andrea, and loved your presentation of the town in B&W. The odd couple was a neat shot, and even if they aren't the original buildings, they do give us a glimpse of what life was like in the early west.
