Manhattan Homestead
[singlepic id=2220 w=750 float=center]
While exploring the semi-ghost town of Manhattan, NV in the spring of 2012 I got a bit disoriented. I made a wrong turn and found myself driving towards what appeared someone’s home. A trailer home. I really didn’t want to trespass so I started looking for a place to turn around. Fortunately, I couldn’t find a convenient spot until I was close enough to realize that I was driving up to a completely abandoned “homestead.”
There was an RV, a bus, a lawn mower and everything you see here. Everything but the kitchen sink.
For a photographer who loves urbex shooting, it was an irresistible find. I spent about 45 minutes exploring and shooting. The first shot I posted from this spor is here. More coming.
I love the details. The eye can wander around at all those untold stories that each abandoned object possesses.
There is a big part of me that really wants that bus!
