Comet changes every time I go there. Sometimes the changes are subtle, sometimes they're more dramatic. Perhaps the most dramatic changes have to do with human activity, and these changes make it more difficult to photograph the town without those modern intrusions. This is not to say that I don't appreciate the value of property ownership and the ultimate security that comes from having permanent occupants so close, but I am selfish enough to wish that the town was more remote!
Diligent angling of the camera's line of site can still give decent results!
Some closeups of the mill...
And a view into the Bunkhouse through a lower floor window...
The colors at the mill were particularly good on this trip...atmospherics at their best!
Beautifully detailed radiator in the grass by the Bunkhouse...

Bunkhouse details
At some point this boulder ended up inside the bunkhouse!
There is what looks like a garage, perhaps an old carriage facility or some other mechanical service building, across the road from the mill. This is detail from one of the doors.
Love this shot with the lens flare...loading bay of the mill.
Interior of the mill.

More graffiti inside the mill.
Detail of an electrical fuse box inside the mill.

Looking down the hill at the mill.
Another view of one of my favorite houses in Comet.
This was shot from the hillside by the mill.
Classic view of the mill.
Desaturated!
Facade of the Dailey Hotel.
From another angle...
The hotel's staircase has collapsed over the last few years.
You can now look down the hallway and out the back door. Old curtains and wallpaper blow forlornly in the crossbreeze...
Another one of my favorite houses in Comet.
It, too, has changed a lot in the last few years.
The water heater still stands, though!
