Old rusting trucks hanging out at Jawbone Flats, leftover from the mining days of the 1940s.
Jawbone Flats was established as a mining camp in the 1920s. It gets its name from the fact that while the miners were out in the mines during the day, their wives would gossip, or "jawbone", during their daily activities in town. The mining camp was shut down in the 1940s when the mining proved to be less than profitable. Shiny Rock Mining Company operated out of Jawbone Flats from 1972 to 1992.
Thanks to Senator Mark Hatfield, this area became protected as the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area in 1996, along with the Opal Creek Wilderness, which lies adjacent. Since this area includes old growth trees, Jawbone Flats is home to the Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center, and educational groups and individuals can come to study and learn about this ancient forest. No private vehicles are allowed here; you have to hike in 3.5 miles. In addition, the old buildings, artifacts, and equipment here are protected by federal law.

The 1868 Rust's Block in downtown Northampton, Massachusetts. Over the years the building has been home to "P. H. Dewey's saloon, Boudway's Fish Market, John Dewey's cigar store, Brigham and Robbins' confectionary, S. Janes' Fruits, De Paola's Merchant-Tailoring and Georgia Phinney's "Fancy Goods Shop: Art Novelties" as well as a series of jewelry stores from 1926 until 1990. Most recently it housed the rare instance of a Starbucks that failed. Perhaps they couldn't compete with the nearby Haymarket Cafe, which is the platonic ideal of what a college town coffeehouse should be.
Here's the building in 2016.

One of the larger bits of a shipwreck of the Minmi steamer at La Perouse in Botany Bay National Park, Sydney. Not surprisingly, there were other photographers there so I wanted to be careful not to get in the way and also high tide was coming. Thus I did not explore the whole shipwreck. This is the front part of the shipwreck from the shore.
