Neat shots. Looks like the ghosts maintain the area quite well.

Very interesting spot! Is it a former site which used to be dedicated to shoot some cinematic scenery ? Probably not much cinematic work there. I was shooting with my 4x5 and a ranger approached telling me I couldn’t take commercial photos. He was cool when I said it was for personal photography. It is the territorial capital of Montana. As a ghost town and state park they do the minimum to keep the buildings intact. Only a few can be entered. It is a wonderful place.

Thanks Clint, I suspect more can be done commercially, but only after a permit is rendered. Money has a way of allowing things :) As I said earlier in my comments, I saw that at least 7 movies had been filmed there, or filmed in part there in Bannack. I once ran into a similar situation at a park where we had planned shooting a family (for a fee, my wife and I do shoot professionally) and a ranger confronted us, and said it was not allowed without a permit. Just one more money making scheme, as if there already isn't enough.

Good pictures. The similarity to historically prominent Lincoln, New Mexico is remarkable.
I'll make it a point to visit Bannock. Thanks for the tip.
