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.

Social Distancing along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County Oregon
A beautiful Spring day exploring the back roads of Baker County Oregon along the Elkhorn Scenic byway between Sumpter and Baker City. Some great wildlife and lots of wide-open scenery and wildflowers along the way. Took a little time to explore along the way with stops at the Ah Hee Diggings historic site and a nearby abandoned mine, before checking out Baldy Creek and the historic Peavy Cabin, and ending our adventure at Anthony Lakes for a little time at the lake and lunch at the Starbottle Saloon
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

Century Farms and Small Town Charm Along The Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County Oregon
Spent a beautiful early summer day exploring small towns and century farms along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County. Baker County is home to more than two dozen Oregon Century Farms and Ranches and the Elkhorn Scenic Byway and back roads along the way, are a great way to explore this working landscape of the American West.
Small towns along the way like Haines and Baker City offer visitors a glimpse at small town Americana at its best.
This scenic byway circles through the Elkhorn mountains of Northeast Oregon beginning and ending in Baker City and passing through small towns like Sumpter, Granite, and Haines. The drive is incredibly scenic with wide open panoramic views across the Baker valley, high alpine forests, and following pristine rivers and creeks along the way. In the winter Anthony Lakes is home to Oregon's highest base elevation ski resort. In the summer the pristine alpine lake is a fishing and camping destination. For more information about the Elkhorn Scenic Byway or other Baker County backroads and Scenic byways visit Baker County Tourism’s website www.basecampbaker.com

After being damaged long ago, a small island outpost lies in ruin, its only inhabitants the birds that fly in the skies around it. The island's well was badly damaged, spilling water around it that now runs through a large crack until spilling off the island in a small waterfall.
