Social Distancing along the back roads of Baker County Oregon

A beautiful Spring day exploring the back roads of Baker County Oregon . Some great wildlife and lots of wide open scenery.

Havilah and Bodfish, Kern County, California. The general store, complete with creepy mannequin. Corlew's Silver City - manufactured ghost town. Old buildings from all over the Kern Valley have been hauled in and re-arranged in the form of an old western town.

Corlew's Silver City, Bodfish, Kern County, California. Corlew's Silver City is a not a real ghost town, but a manufactured one. In the sixties and seventies, Dave and Arvilla Mills found several old, historic buildings from all over the Kern Valley region, hauled them to Bodfish and rearranged them to re-create the old western town of Silver City.

While the town itself is not real, nearly all of the buildings are authentic. Brought in from all over the area, from Keyesville to Isabella, from Whiskey Flat to Kernvale - many old towns and mining camps that are just a faded memory, or lost under the waters of nearby Lake Isabella. The Corlew family purchased the attraction and re-opened it in 1992, and have spent many hours restoring the buildings to an authentic state. Some of the buildings include the Isabella Jail, church, hotel, post office, saloon, and more.

Corlew's Silver City is waaaay off the beaten path, tucked away in the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, roughly an hour northeast of Bakersfield, a few miles from Lake Isabella. It's a bit of a faded tourist stop, a little worse for wear from the ravages of time - but that's partly by design, because the buildings are meant to be preserved in a state of 'arrested decay'. A bit of tourist-trap kitsch with the creepy mannequin displays, but still worth the visit for old western buffs and history enthusiasts.

[Nara, Japan] Following the steps of Mishima Yukio in Enshou Ji, the most puzzling shrine I have seen because it has this dry garden at the very entrance. Mishima visited this temple as part of his study for his masterpiece The Sea of Fertility. This place (called Gesshu in the final novel of the trilogy, The Decay of the Angel) is the setting for the very final scene of The Sea of Fertility and it is used by Mishima to portray the Buddhist image of Paradise: an empty garden with no memories and only the sound of the cicadas remains.

Mt. Kunyit is an active volcano in the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia. The trek to the crater takes about six hours, and passes through beautiful cloud forests and beside fumrole volcanic vents. In the middle of the crater lies a bubbling hotspring, and what locals call "Taman Dewa" or "The Garden of the Gods." It has a spiritual, mythical place in local folklore, and is the site where local hero Depati Parbo meditated to supposedly gain invulnerability to Dutch bullets during the war for Kerinci.

A controversial fresco on the interior wall of the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, a Serbian Orthodox Church in Podgorica, the capital city of Montenegro. The fresco depicts Marshal Tito, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels burning in the eternal flames in hell.

The three men portrayed in the fresco are the personification of a regime that persecuted the believers and the clergy. Even today, the Montenegrin population is divided between those who miss the “good old days” and those who see in communism a plague that ravaged this region for many years.

Social Distancing along the back roads of Baker County Oregon

A beautiful Spring day exploring the back roads of Baker County Oregon . Some great wildlife and lots of wide open scenery.

Located at the intersection of three Oregon Scenic Byways Baker County is surrounded by spectacular scenery and wide open spaces. For more information about Baker County's back roads and scenic byways visit the Baker County Tourism website at www.travlebakercounty.com

This simple dirt-road has been good to me over the last four years since I joined Flickr. I have experienced the joys of nature throughout the inland expanse of the Florida Everglades. I have seen beautiful sunsets and an abundant variety of wildlife from birds to alligators. This dirt road is the eastern border of the Everglades, and as simple as it is, it's been an amazing road. It's shown me the beauty of nature and has given me the ability to reach out and touch it with my lens, to understand its ebbs and flows while enjoying it. Flickr got me out here...our Government has temporarily taken it away. Soon this shutdown dispute will be over and I will get my life back. Very soon, I hope ~ Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge ~ Everglades

Update: The Government shutdown is over today 10/17/13 ! The National parks have re-opened. Hallelujah.
