Hidden History

Why Hidden History? Hidden: because it exposes the hidden colors of living trees and grasses, and the depth of the sky, captured in the infrared spectrum. I find this very mysterious. It was revealing to blend two shots from two cameras and two light spectrums. History: remnants of history in a burned out chimney from a turn-of-the-century lumber mill, still standing on the east slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Foreground interest is a Model T from the "living ghost town" of Randsburg, CA.
