Cogs

Gear cogs rust away in the elevator room. Taken at Gilman, the former town of the workers at the Eagle Mine. The town is at an elevation of 9000’ with a population of 350. It was the largest underground mill in the US until in 1984 when it was abandoned by order of the EPA due to toxic pollutants. Graffiti artist often use Gilman as a canvas for their artworks. These photos are part of the Gilman project, a two day photographic shoot of the town and mine site.
