Metropolis

[denum131 157]

I recently went to Arches National Park and on my way I stayed for a night in Elko, Nevada. I searched for old ghost towns around Elko and this place called Metropolis came up. I realize this place has been shot many times before but I thought I'd give my interpretation a go. This arch doorway is all that is left of the old Lincoln School.

I ran across this scene with this old dilapidated camper trailer on the way to Metropolis. The camper is a cornucopia of various textures and patterns. Many of them brought on by the ravaging elements, and lots of time.

Seen better days

Terrific images! B&W adds to the desolate look of these places under that big sky.

Thanks! Color versions just didn't have the feel these do. Glad you liked them.

Thank you. I passed it up initially but thought better of it and backed up to get the shot. Really glad I did. I'll be posting some Arches shots soon.
