Hanks Hotel

I took this photo of the old Hanks Hotel at Calico Ghost Town located in Southern California. Calico is a former west mining town that has been around since 1881 during the most significant silver strike in California. With its 500 mines, Calico produced over $20 million in silver ore over a 12-year span. When silver lost its value in the mid-1890's, Calico lost its population. The miners packed up, loaded their mules and moved away abandoning the town that once gave them a good living. It became a "ghost town." ​

Situated near the upscale community of La Jolla in San Diego, the beautiful double towers of the San Diego California Temple soar above I-5 in densely​ populated Southern California. Connecting the towers at the center is a supernal star-shaped atrium filled with a healthy, colorful garden.

Old Flour Mill

This century-old flour mill is located in Oaksdale Washington. It's the only one of its kind left on the Palouse, but there's far more to it than being rare. It wasn't just for milling flour; it​ was a nerve center for an entire community. It was how people fed their animals all winter, because they brought the grains that they grew, and they were cracked and then fed to their animals all winter. It was a hub of activity.

I captured this old red barn all by itself next to a country gravel road on the Palouse in Eastern Washington.​
