Unveiling Forgotten Places

🏚️ Bodie, California Frozen in a state of "arrested decay." This 1880s gold rush town remains untouched, with interiors still stocked as they were 140 years ago.
🤠 Terlingua, Texas A dusty mining outpost on the edge of Big Bend. Known for its eerie cemetery, sunset views, and the ghosts of its mercury-mining past.
🔥 Centralia, Pennsylvania The town that literally burned away. A coal seam fire has raged beneath the streets since 1962, creating a surreal, post-apocalyptic landscape.
⛏️ Rhyolite, Nevada Striking ruins in the heart of the desert. The skeleton of a 3-story bank and a house made of glass bottles offer incredible photography.
