Not to be rude, but they look like sunspots or dust flecks to me. Particularly in the second shot there, where it was quite light-heavy on the one side. *shrugs* but it's a gorgeous town for sure.

 

do people run this place as a tourist attraction, or is it just an a town, where you can go in any of the places you like?

Orbs are angels, not ghosts.

 

orbs are reflections of flash off of dust particles not angels or ghosts


but it seems liek a pretty cool place

 

Maybe in some pics they are dust...but an actual orb is an angel.

 

i can see how it was dust in the lens or something. i was a very dusty windy town

bodie is neither a media amusement nor a completely unprotected remain of an abondon town, but a preserved historical monument maintained by either the national park service (department of forrestry usda) or the state of california park service (sub cdf). i'm not sure which. but there IS a MANED ranger station to keep people from just going in and tearing it up or burning it down, as has happened to similar historical sites that lacked such protection. so you can't just "go anywhere you like" in the sense that most of the buildings are kept securely locked up and you can only peer in through the windows at the displays inside. but you CAN, or could the last time i was there, walk arround unaccompanied and unguided to your hearts content. there is or were, no guided tours, that sort of thing. just interpretive signage you can read yourself, and when i was there, a minimum of that.

of course this was more then twenty years ago that i was there so all this could have chainged by now. it was then on a not very freequented dirt road that the average daytripper in the average automobile was unlikely to attempt. i'm guessing that part has almost certainly chainged by now.
