Bodie is a well preserved ghost town that is now a state park. Read more about it here:
http://www.bodie.com/ This panorama is 1/2 of a 3D photo. The other photo is here: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=9201 The only way that I can offer to view these images is to open each one in its own GigaPan browser window. One can view using the crossed view method described here: http://home.comcast.net/~holographics/cross.html Some of us have mirror arragements that are used to make maps or dedicated to this sort of purpose (usually not panoramas). These use parallel viewing. The difference is that crossed images have the right image on the left and parrallel is the opposite way. It will take some effort to lineup the right an left images and make the scale the same in both. But it does provide a 3D 360 panoramic view. Now if we could only control both instances with one mouse! Have fun! |

Bodie is a Ghost town just north of Mono Lake in California. Started in the 1870's it was abandoned several times and finally turned over to the state in the 1960's. Today you can wander the town, look in the windows and wonder what life was like in the old west. |

Gigapan acquired in the bathroom mirror
of my Holiday Inn Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA. Stitching of the camera body is imperfect because it's orientation changed from frame to frame (but of course!). |

Hidden away in the woods, and surrounded by a rusting, torn and collapsing chain-link fence, it’s an area anybody with common sense would avoid. It's off the beaten path - literally. Partially visible from the main road (if the trees are not too full,) it's easy to miss. A surprisingly clear, small lagoon separates the cemetery from the main road. Bachelor’s Grove is in everyone’s top 5 list of haunted places, but many people consider it number one.
115 images, full 360 degrees. Shot manually on a tripod in 2006. |

This Ghost town is now protected as a State Park. The gold and silver mine still remains as well as a small percentage of the buildings. Fire has swept through on multiple occasions. A few buildings remain undisturbed and were left with the contents still within them. |

Downsampled images to test stitching and lighting. More work to be done. |

This Bodie California church was probably used for more funerals than normal services. This mining town was a harsh place to live and an easy place to die. Without trees or sanitation and only jobs in the mine or stamping mill, people died of cold, silicosis, cyanide poining, or went slowly mad with mercury poisoning. Bodie is now a ghost town. Certainly, many of the ghosts would have passed through here.
This church was also used in a famous movie shot and shoo-out in "High Planes Drifter" |
