Roadmap To The Stars
At the end of almost every dirt road through the middle of nowhere Nevada sits an abandoned mining town that went bust, ages ago. Left to be washed away by the sands of time.
Fortunately, the further away from the bright lights of the city you get, the easier it is to see the stars.
Prints available on my site.
