Moonset At The Bents Store

This may be one of my last trips to the ghost town of Bents SK.
It is getting very unsafe and things are getting pretty worked over.
I have been here so many times I know it like the back of my hand, things that were once there
are now missing and have most likely made there way to E-Bay.
I have watched this Ghost Town fade away by the elements and humans....
I have a few more images to post of Bents...but they may be my last.....

Nikon D300

Sad to hear what's happening to Bents Mike...I visited there once and was amazed at how intact everything was there. I know similar things are happening to some of the other spots I've visited in southern sk as well. Real shame....

Great shot Mike; I have really enjoyed your shots of Bent. Unfortunately, the nature of the decay that makes these old places so attractive is that it can't be stopped.

Beautiful scene. Unfortunate about the condition of the town. Similar situation in Death Valley , too many people sneaking off with a keepsake and now there is little left for the hiker to enjoy.

What a shame the opportunistic vermin are spoiling your heritage. Shouldn't the authorities be protecting these places? When they're gone, what's left?

I love this Mike, so quiet and serene with the full moon in the background. I'm sad to hear that things are deteriorating so drastically there....you've done an amazing job of capturing it's history so that everyone will remember what was once there.

Its a shame to hear that Mike... I had no idea people would come and take stuff for profit!! We all have been to Bents many time with you and Glenn thru your pics -we all will miss the stories!

The sky and Moon add so much to this scene. Well done Mike.

Sad and true about the 'Prairie Pickers' stealing and selling our past. Wonderful shot; but if and when I get back out there, could I convince you into one more trip?

It's probably from all these excellent images you have been taking. The word is spreading about all the neat stuff up there. It's all your fault. ;)
