A shot from this past summer's trip to Bodie, CA. This house seemed to show the cold and lonely feeling of the place well. It was cold and very windy at the time of the picture.

I like the color and texture of the house; also like the color and texture of the swath of weeds across the front. The weeds make a nice leading line for the photo. The sky is quite bright and I find the white areas especially quite distracting.

That is a neat old house. I agree that the blown-out sky is really distracting. This is a difficult exposure to deal with; a dark object against a super-bright background. For something like this, it seems like you'd have to either combine 2 exposures, or work hard with a RAW file. It does look like the clouds were really interesting, also, so it's too bad they're blown out.
Love that sagebrush! And the worn wood on the building is super. It even looks like the windows are still in!
