Bodie CA

Hipstamatic app

Hipstamatic, Salvadore camera

Several months ago I was able to stop in Bodie CA on my way to Reno NV.  It's off Hwy 395, fairly easy 13-mile drive  during the summer (except when they do road repairs!).   I had fun with the Hipstamatic camera app on my iPhone and liked these two versions of the old Shell Gasoline sign.

The Salvadore camera produces unpredictable results -- I liked this one of the sign.





























PS:  Thanks to friend Kerrie, who identified the beautiful white flower in my last post.  It's called a Carissa macrocarpa.

I love the lace curtains. 

This trip on Hwy 395,  the highway to Bodie was open!    A month ago it was snowing while I drove south, so I didn't even try to drive into Bodie.   Here's a few Hipsta photos from the morning.  I'm having fun with this app and all the cameras & film  in it to play with.  

Everytime I visit Bodie I marvel at the people who founded this town, at the great distances they had to bring building materials, furniture, glass.   One house had the remnants of 3 layers of wall paper.
