Havilah and Bodfish, Kern County, California. Old tin sign. 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.

Bulnes é uma pequena aldeia situada no maciço central dos Picos de Europa, no concelho de Cabrales, nas Astúrias. É um lugar isolado e tranquilo, rodeado de montanhas impressionantes, como o Picu Urriellu ou Naranjo de Bulnes. Para chegar a Bulnes, só há duas opções: ir a pé por um trilho pedregoso que parte de Poncebos, ou usar o funicular subterrâneo que atravessa a rocha em 7 minutos.
Aerial view of St Paul’s Bay, situated at the foot of the Acropolis of Lindos, on the island of Rhodes, part of the Dodecanese island group, in South Aegean, Greece.
It is believed that the Apostle Paul sailed into this bay in 43AD when he was traveling across the lands bringing the new religion of Christianity with him, and the locals named the Bay after him soon after.

Mt. Kerinci, the highest active volcano west of Kamchatka and east of Iran, as seen at sunset from Bukit Khayangan. Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia.
Neidpath Castle dates back to the late 1300s and has seen its fair share of turmoil and romance. Once visited by Mary, Queen of Scots, and later a retreat for the poet William Wordsworth, the castle sits just west of Peebles overlooking the River Tweed. It’s privately owned now, but still a compelling part of the Borders landscape: a fortress of both history and melancholy.

I'm starting to live vicariously through my own shots from Ireland and Scotland. I want to go back. Mostly, I think, I want to just get out on two legs and shoot some new stuff. :)
Life is very rainy right now, which is awesome. June in Utah generally isn't like this. I'm loving the daily rain, the downpours, the green everywhere. Make no mistake though. I live in a desert, and the "green" here is nothing like the green there.
Vicarious is good.
