warren

Here is a shot from the old ghost town of Warren, Idaho. This town

was once flooded with prospectors in the late 1800?s now only a few

peopele remain as permanent residents. No power has been routed to

the town and a phone line was installed only a few years ago.

Snowmobile or snowcat are the only modes of transportation during the

winter. 40 miles of the route in remains unplowed during these

months. I feel extremely fourtunate to have a family cabin up here. A

great place to visit and leave all the BS behind. A place of good

people, great scenery, and a hell of a lot of fun. The town was

almost taken off the map this summer by the East Zone Complex fire.

It came within a quarter mile of the town. Now Warren is an oasis

within the blackness. Possibly an addition to its unique character.

It has survived many wildfires and I am sure will survive many more.

If anyone has seen the movie or read the book ?1000 pieces of gold?,

it is based on events in this town and much of its history. Please

enjoy!

I love it. The dramatic sky in combination with the wheel in the foreground gives a bit of a ghostly feeling. :)

Nice composition too.

Very nicely composed and appealing image. Great sky, good tonality and contrast. I like this very much!
