As the sky began to change and late afternoon turned to evening, I made my way to the ruins of the old Chisos Mining Company in Terlingua, Texas. It was such a peaceful evening. I felt lucky to be able to experience such a magical place.

Hi Daniel, Thank you very much for your comment all the way from Taiwan! And thank you for the best wishes for my dog, he is doing much better now. I’m very glad that you are enjoying the blog. Stay in touch!
Hi Chris, it is light painting. I asked my husband to go inside the ruin and during the long exposure he used a red light to light the back wall and the window. It wasn’t a very powerful light though so it wasn’t quite the effect I wanted. It turned out more subtle but still ok. Thanks for your comments!
I’ve been enjoying your posts – I particularly like the images of the ghost town in Texas. They take me back to when as a young boy and I watched the western movies.
Hi Fred, thank you very much for your visit and comments on the blog. I’m really glad you have enjoyed reading about my journey. Texas was just like a western movie, I really like it there.
Wow, this is great, Anne! Love all the details and such in the empty outlines of the buildings. That 3rd shot has something bright red in the window there… a drape perhaps?… anyways, it drew my eye straight away to it. Love this, my friend!
Hi Toad, the bright red is actually a red light. I asked my husband Ray to go inside and direct the light to the back wall and out that one window. We didn’t have a very powerful light though. I would like to try it again with a stronger light, but I like the effect too. He’s such a good photo assistant 😉

Did you do some light painting, or is that the sun coming through the window in the second to last shot? Totally cool find Anne!

Wonderful work here! Love the mood and colors!
Hi Bob, thank you very much, it was an incredible sunset.
Wonderful shots! What a great place to explore!!! Lovely shots, all of them. Nice work Anne!
Hi Adam, thank you so much. I loved Terlingua – it had so much character in the town as well as its people. A very cool place.
Beautiful colors here. I really like your use of light in this series. Well done!
Hi Kris, thank you very much for your comments. The light is everything in these images. Without it it is just a bunch of rubble 😉
Bringing the latest technology of HDR to an old ghost town… very impressing.
Hi Laura, you know I never even thought of that. That’s such an excellent point. I wish I could say that was my intention all along! 🙂
Great shots Anne. Not only lucky to be in this ghost city but lucky with the light too. Very nice.

Hi Alexander, yes you are right, I was lucky with the light that night. Thanks for your comments.
Beautiful shots, Anne. You did a fantastic job capturing the light (a nod to your e-book)!
Hi Gregg, thank you very much for your kind comments and I’m glad you enjoyed the eBook!

I love that second photo! I like the effect of the sky to the ruin.
Hi Jamin, thank you! Yes, the difference in the texture of the soft sky and the details in the ruins got my attention too.
Beautiful photos Anne, I love the atmospheric skies and the detail you have captured in the buildings, brilliant work!
Thank you very much Phil, it was a beautiful evening, I wish sunset was like that every night.
such amazing colours, and so crisp. amazing!
Thank you very much for your visit and comments Luke!
Simply stunning Anne. You’ve captured the most beautiful light and have made it magical for us.
Thank you so much Edith, your words mean a great deal to me.
Gorgeous work, Anne!
Thank you Eden!
Fantastic skies Anne and I love the subtle processing on these images. Great sense of place.
Thank you very much Russ. The images are HDR, but I wanted them to look as natural as possible. I really appreciate your comments.
Hi Anne,
I’ve been enjoying your posts – I particularly like the images of the ghost town in Texas. They take me back to when as a young boy and I watched the western movies.
Enjoy your journey. Keep the images coming!

That really captivated me, it stood out as a huge element of interest here, Anne! Tell Ray he did a great job, the Toads love this!
Those are some awesome skies Anne. They really rock.
Thanks Len, it was a great night, I love it when the skies cooperate with my timing.
