Now then, 52.2 - History. As I said before, I knew straight away where or rather what I wanted for this. So, a bit of internet research and a route planned to make it a great family day out and off we went to find a Ghost town! I was amazed to find that there are 10 ghost towns to every living town in Nevada! The one we stopped at was Rhyolite. It had a population of 8000 at it's peak but lasted only 5 years when the mines closed down. I had 3 shots which I really couldn't make my mind up, but this was the in line with what I really wanted to capture. It was inside a tiny, ramshackled 2 room 'house' and I spent quite a while sitting inside wondering what had happened here, who had lived in it and what their life could have been like. Anyway, enough rambling!!
