Description Here’s a shot from the ghost town of Warren, Idaho. This town was once flooded with prospectors in the late 1800's now only a few people remain as permanent residents. No power has been routed to the town and a phone line was installed only a few years ago. Snowmobile or snowcat are the only modes of transportation during the winter. 40 miles of the route in remains unplowed during these months.
I feel extremely fourtunate to have a family cabin up here. A great place to visit and leave all the BS behind. A place of good people, great scenery, and a hell of a lot of fun. The town was almost taken off the map this summer by the East Zone Complex fire. It came within a quarter mile of the town. Now Warren is an oasis within the blackness. Possibly an addition to its unique character. It has survived many wildfires and I am sure will survive many more.
If anyone has seen the movie or read the book “1000 pieces of gold”, it is based on events in this town and much of its history. Please enjoy!

Wow Nick, this is a great B&W Comp man. Being there a time or two I can definately say this photo captures the essence for sure. Great sky, amazing foreground, and everything in between just compliments overall. Crisp, clean, awesome balance, and the tone sets the mood with true professionalism. Very well done.

Fantastic. Think they might have some space for me over there? A perfect hermitage spot.
