Bannack was founded in 1862 when John White discovered gold there. It was briefly the territorial capital and was an active mining town until into the 1930s.
This older gentleman and his Newfoundland “Lewis” were visiting today also.
There are nearly 60 old buildings here and most of them are open to visit and empty. Therefore there were several recurring themes in my photos today. I tried to pick 1 of each type.
1 – Exterior views. – This old barn and hitching post made an interesting composition.
2 -Textures – I can always use interesting textures as background elements for graphic work. This wall with it’s water stains is just one example.
3 – Doorways. These old houses were characterized by small rooms and lots of doors. The doors created exciting opportunities to frame other elements. Even other doorways.
Tomorrow we will drive to Billings and hopefully visit a doll museum there.
