One of numerous Ghost towns in the Southwest corner of New Mexico, and along the Arizona border. Considerable mining took place in the late 1800's as railroads became available throughout the West. Mine owners built their own spurs to link up with the coast to coast railway.

Nice contrasts in the image and composition of the scene. Not quite as dramatic looking as the earlier full colour version. So did you and Zulu take turns being hitched to the stage coach?

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
