This was a very odd town. Even though everything looked nice and tidy there was a weird undercurrent of hostility/unrest that we both felt. Very strange...
Georgetown es una ciudad colonial que fue fundada en el 1786 y que está situada en la la isla de Penang. Fue nombrada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 2008 por tener un paisaje urbano arquitectónico y cultural único.
El arte callejero (graffitis) de Georgetown empezó en el año 2012 con el proyecto llamado “Mirrors George Town”organizado por el gran y joven artista lituano, Ernest Zacharevic. Este proyecto se compone de varias pinturas murales a gran escala, todos ellos situados en la zona monumental y de diferentes artistas internacionales.
La idea del proyecto “Mirrors George Town” fue convertir las calles de Georgetown en una galería de arte al aire libre que uno puede disfrutar mientras explora y pasea por la ciudad. Según los organizadores: “los murales (dibujos de figuras y retratos) celebra la multiculturalidad y la diversidad de los habitantes de la ciudad, el patrimonio vivo de Georgetown”.

It has been a long time since I had a chance to wander through downtown Georgetown, plus I couldn't say no to a beautiful day! The sun was shining, the weather though a little cold was still good. Plus the streets were nice and quiet.

Steam engines were the foundation of the Industrial Revolution. For nearly 120 years, steam-powered locomotives were the backbone of commerce, hauling passengers as well as cargo throughout the United States.
This is our Baldwin #40 2-8-0 steam locomotive preparing to change tracks and go to the other end of the train, to haul us back up to Silver Plume Depot on the Georgetown Loop Railroad.
This beautiful brick church is framed by lovely live oaks. Live oaks are an evergreen hardwood indigenous to the southern United States; they can live for hundreds of years and spread to a massive width. You often see Spanish moss hanging from the limbs.

An outbound train from Georgetown to Silver Plume. On I-70, the distance between towns is two miles (and about 500 feet in altitude going towards Silver Plume), but the train takes 4.5 miles to get there because of topography and the need to gain altitude. The water in the foreground is Clear Creek, for which the Clear Creek Canyon is named.

nrhp # 66000243- The Georgetown–Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District is a federally designated United States National Historic Landmark that comprises the Town of Georgetown, the Town of Silver Plume, and the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park between the two silver mining towns along Clear Creek in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Clear Creek County, Colorado, United States.
The district includes well-preserved examples of the buildings and mining structures of the Colorado Silver Boom from 1864 to 1893. The Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park includes the reconstructed Georgetown Loop, a spectacular example of 19th-century 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railway engineering required to negotiate the 601 feet (183 meters) of elevation rise in the mere 2.0 miles (3.2 kilometers) between the two towns. Historic steam locomotives pull passenger trains over the loop from late May through the beautiful Autumn colors of early October. Guided tours of the Lebanon Silver Mine are also available.
The district was designated a National Historic Landmark on November 13, 1966.
Gold was discovered in Georgetown by George and David Griffiths in 1859, and Georgetown eventually took its name from the former. The gold finds in the area were relatively minor, but a major lode of silver was discovered in 1864, kicking off the local boom. Georgetown became a center for thousands of miners operating in the surrounding hills. Silver Plume was developed as one of a series of satellite camps, and in 1884 the Georgetown Loop Railroad was built, connecting the two by rail. Mining declined in the 1890s, and the area has since had a relatively low population.

The former town hall for Georgetown, this beautiful art deco styled building is a little bit hidden from the main street but still worth checking out.
