I was passing through Nevada City (one of the local "ghost towns") this past weekend, and stopped to take a few pictures (the weather was growing cold and blustery, plus the main portion of the town was closed, so I wasn't there long). Considering how few shots I took, I'm really happy that these turned out so well.
Because of the overcast skies, there was a nice, muted light around the old depot, where all of these were taken.
At one time, Nevada City was a booming mining town, which grew up around the strikes in Alder Gulch back in the 1860s. The existence of the train station suggests it was still a going concern into the twentieth century, but the gold played out around there sometime before World War II. It remains a nice spot to take pictures though.
