Landscape photography and architecture photography have a lot in common. I enjoy both, and sometimes you get to even combine the two. This remote ghost town at Vermejo Park Ranch sits in a lonely valley, quietly decaying back into the earth. I love all the narrow beams of light from the remains of the roof.

For this image, I used one exposure for the interior and another for the exterior and combined them together using Adobe Lightroom’s one-click HDR Merge feature.
