This is a composite image of a deserted desert town. I made it from the base image of a dirt road I photographed in Big Bend National Park. I photographed the City Hall in Granger, Texas, a semi-ghost town and the inspiration for the image. I photographed the Farmers and Drovers Bank in Council Grove, Kansas. It is a fully functional bank, but I boarded up the windows and removed a large time/temp sign in Photoshop. I photographed the car at a car show and the driver is a self-portrait of yours truly. I replaced the sky with a one I photographed from my back yard. I thought it added to the gloom and enhanced the theme and the lightning added to idea that the driver is escaping.
