Lady Vervaine kindly loaned me a polaroid camera so I could join in with 'roid week, except that it was a bit late by the time I got it. So I thought I'd have my own personal pola week.

This is how I spend, I'm sure, at least 75% of my time at home. Sitting quietly, staring out a window, thinking... letting things make their home in me. It takes a long time, sometimes.

I met Stranger #117 at the Cleveland Museum of Art. I couldn’t help but notice her colorful mane from across the massive atrium that makes up the center of the museum complex. That said, it wasn’t until I saw her and a friend taking pictures of one another with their phones that I figured that I should get in on the action with a portrait of my own. And so I did.

More pictures to come from this Gold Rush, ghost town.
In 1876, the Standard Company discovered a profitable deposit of gold-bearing ore, which transformed Bodie from an isolated mining camp comprising a few prospectors and company employees to a Wild West boomtown. Rich discoveries in the adjacent Bodie Mine during 1878 attracted even more hopeful people. By 1879, Bodie had a population of approximately 5000–7000 people and around 2,000 buildings. One idea maintains that in 1880, Bodie was California's second or third largest city, but the U.S. Census of that year disproves the popular tale. Over the years, Bodie's mines produced gold valued at nearly US$34 million.
