ABANDONED CALIFORNIAN GOLD RUSH TOWN

A once bustling gold rush town in Mono County, California now stands completed deserted. Many of the buildings lie abandoned, yet are still furnished with the personal belongings of their previous owners. English photographer Cat Burton visited the eerie town of Bodie, which used to have a population of 10,000, to see a real life American ghost town. The 29-year-old, of Donington, Lincolnshire, says: “I was on a road trip around California and a few people had recommended visiting Bodie, and I’m so glad I made the time to stop here
