Just north of Mono Lake in California, lies the ghost town of Brodie. Once the home to 10,000 people in the late 1800s, Brodie went into decline in the early 1900s as the mines dried up, and by World War II it was deserted. The State of California decided to preserve what was left of the decaying town and make it a state park. This was a brilliant decision, as ghost towns have a tendency to fall apart and disappear over time. Of all the ghost towns DV Dude has been through, Brodie is by far the best. Here is a small selection of the photos taken.
What is interesting about Brodie is that some interiors have been left intact, and you can peak into windows and see what is there. This is one interior - there are many others, including a school, tavern, general store and church.
So now DV Dude's quest to photograph a ghost town, after many attempts, has been satisfied. Scratch that one off the Photography Bucket List.
