Like A Ghost Town



...."It's like a ghost town....without your love, like a ghost town...."-Cheap Trick

The Ghost Town of Como, Colorado ....how I love this place, honestly it is one of my favorite locations to shoot and explore, still "slightly inhabited" it offers a really great glimpse into the past.

HDR through Photomatix, Lightroom, and PS..I hope you all like it
---John

There is a bit of tree that slightly irks me, but I'm weird. I know that.

I really love this one. There is such depth with it! A gorgeous shot!

Yup. Looks a bit like this "Up Maine" too.
All the happening towns are south.
I love the composition of this. You can figure out perhaps why it's a dead town, or getting there...draw your own conclusions (family farm bought out, etc.)

I love this because it's HDR but it's not "in your face" HDR. It just brought out every beautiful part of that shot without looking over the top.
