Default Ghost Towns of West TX - Penwell, TX
I took a Monday to go exploring a few ghost towns in west Texas. My first stop was Penwell, TX, just west of Odessa, TX. Here are a few shots, and if you'd care to see more and read some of the history, please visit my Flickr set.

Comments are always appreciated!

The sense of abandonment in the last photo is fantastic. Nice work... must have been interesting exploring ghost towns.
