Galactic trigonometry
Zodiacal light and the winter band of the Milky Way creates an almost perfect right triangle over this desert ghost town.
A few things to point out in this vertical panorama, is the obvious beam of light on the left of the frame known as Zodiacal light. The reddish smudge (upper mid left) is the California Nebula, and peeking out from behind the jail is the Andromeda Galaxy. You can also see a couple of the other buildings still standing near the base of the mountain.
