Main Street St Elmo

[larryj]

A shot from last summer at the ghost town (almost) of Saint Elmo, which is near Mount Princeton and Princeton Hot Springs. I processed the image in color and B&W and liked them both so I posted them here and would like to know which is your preference.

I am thinking I like the B&W better Larry. It seems to fit the old building feel.

I almost got to St Elmo last year, I really need to get there this coming year. I want to do a travel video for it, but also it seems like it might be a great spot to capture the Milky Way.

B&W for me too - that sign for the State Historical Fund is just a bit too distracting in the color version. B&W fits the antique look here anyway.

Another nod for the BW.

Thanks Jim for your comments, I like the B&W version also. I think I may redo the image in sepia to further the old feeling of the image!
St Elmo is somewhat nestled between mountains and maybe not a good place for a Milky Way shot, however there several area near here with clear views of the skies and mountains that might work for Milky Way shots! Plan to spend a few day in the area, there is lots to see and explore.

Thanks Alan your comments are appreciated as always!

Thanks Jameel, I may redo the image in sepia tone and see how that works!
