Description
Location: Trona, California (Mojave Desert)Filter: Hoya IR72
Borax town. This is one of many old "bus stops" along the main road of the city. That was in 1950's ... now the town is home to IMC Chemicals and few poor souls who work there. Abandoned houses with broken windows line every street. Nice place to visit to realize how lucky you are that you don't have to live here.

I'm always moved when I drive through Trona, looking at all the abandoned, dilapidated homes there. It's a testament to a different America, a time when the middle class was more vibrant, and you could own a home without having a college degree or graduate degree.

that's really interesting.. i'm noticing their are complementary colours (contrasting) and also a contrast between the scenic outdoors and an old, wron down bench. is the parallelism on purpose?

I don't know why I haven't comment before, or maybe I did and comments aren't working right now. My mom grew up in Trona. I'm visiting Ridgecrest next week, one of my goals is to drive down to Trona, find this, and photograph it in IR as well.
