Grotto
On my only other visit to Shafter, the church door was unlocked and I was able to get some photos inside. I didn’t realize how much I was looking forward to shooting inside there again, in muted light this time, until I discovered the door I’d gone in before was locked. And so were all the others. It was a disappointment.
But at least I got to see this, on the back of the church.

Empty Saddle (Club)
I sure hate to see this place go. I’ve had a few beers there in my time.

Community Message Board
I found an informal communication system inside this abandoned building. I also found some nice light slanting through the room.

Peaceful Veranda (with laundry)
It’s hard to remember that this hotel has a highway and a railroad right next to it – everything in here seems so peaceful.
My favorite things are the light through the leaves and that bundle of laundry.

In terms of relative sizes of photos/crucifixes, you can see who’s most important here.
