Amargosa Opera House

Black And White Photography, Emilio, Photography

Opera House-2

Just on the outskirts of Death Valley is the Amargosa Opera House, still in use today after being renovated and revamped in 1968 by Marta Becket, who has performed there since. Read her amazing story here and here.

Though we have eaten at The Amargosa Diner, and visited the adjacent motel, we never have stayed for a performance.

He opened the door and a woman stood there on the porch with anxious eyes.

May I help you? Says the man.

Oh… I just want to see Eric.

Eric? There is no Eric in here

No Eric… ? Are you sure? Damn…

Of course I am…

She said nothing more, took two steps back and, just before he closed the door, he seen the depth of the inevitability in her face.

There was nothing to add. Nothing more to say. She had already thought of this possibility but wouldn’t believe it. What she feared the most in the last 6 years was now a reality….

 

I Swear …

I Swear.....

I Swear…..

I’d just returned home from my trip to Kentucky, and had spent the previous 3 hours riding in the rain.  The light, and the shadows, and the raindrops on the windshield, stopped me in my (very wet, dripping )tracks.  My bike was dripping, too,  but it had brought me home safely and that, my friends, is all that really matters.

Come on over to Life on the Bike and Other Fab Things to see more images from my adventures on, and off, the bike.  Please check out the blogs of my fellow contributors to Monochromia, too!

Weathered Shadows

Black And White Photography, Photography
Weathered clapboards with peeling paint and two paned windows.

Nikon D90, 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, extended to 48mm, 1/160 sec @ f/11, ISO 200

Weathered. Echoing with music … and footsteps of aspiring dancers.
Abandoned. Housing only shadows of times long past.
