"The historic ghost town of Two Guns is situated on the eastern rim of Canyon Diablo about 30 miles east of Flagstaff, Arizona, United States of America. The town, originally known as Canyon Lodge, flourished as one of the significant tourist spots along the famous route 66.
The town had a gas station, a cafe, overnight accommodation, a store selling local souvenirs and even a zoo with animals characteristic for the area. But when Route 66 was redirected to the opposite canyon, the town of Two Guns, as many towns along the old unused section of Route 66, started slowly to decline. After several attempts for it to be resurrected, the town of Two Guns became a completely abandoned ghost town at the beginning of the 1970s. The several remaining buildings are now in ruins but the site remains a picturesque place full of history and mystery.
The area that would later become Two Guns was inhabited much earlier. Native artifacts discovered there indicate that this place was populated from 1050 AD. The first European settlers started to populate the area in the mid-19th century when the construction of the Santa Fe Railway was proceeding in northern Arizona. In 1880 there was built a railroad town called Canyon Diablo, which became a ghost town years before the idea of building the town of Two Guns was even born. The town of Canyon Diablo quickly became a favorite place for outlaws, gamblers, and criminals. Billy the Kid and his gang hid in a ruined house built from the stone on the west edge of Canyon Diablo in winter 1879-1890."

Tomorrow when the farm boys find this
freak of nature, they will wrap his body
in newspaper and carry him to the museum.
But tonight he is alive and in the north
field with his mother. It is a perfect
summer evening: the moon rising over
the orchard, the wind in the grass. And
as he stares into the sky, there are
twice as many stars as usual.

Looking around this scene for compositions I can across a row of rocks that I thought would look good as a foreground element leading the eye to the two lovely water falls in the background. Setting my camera as low to the floor as possible.
Day 3 of 20 of albums that influenced my musical tastes.
"Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead"
I believe this is a Two-barred Warbler, but living in North America I am not very familiar with the Phylloscopidae. I put this to the Bird Identification Help Group here on Flickr to see if I am right, but don’t yet have a conclusive answer.
The sighting was on the Ang Ka nature trail near the highest point of Doi Inthanon National Park in northern Thailand, in late January.
Two of my sons hiking up the lower sections of the Kelso Dunes in Mojave NPres. We are on our way up to the top of the 700ft dune.
Theres not much to say about this photo other then it was not planned. I just looked out the window and saw how the sun hit our 'laituri' perfectly, so I grabbed my camera, threw on a dress and ran. Oh and lets not forget sprayed myself completely with bug spray.
Two snowdrops growing through the undergrowth in February 2017. The background is a mixture of last years fallen leaves and a distant tree trunk, all diffused by using f3.2 on a macro lens.
The California Bungalow style of this house fits in quite well with the two palm trees. It could easily be a suburb in Los Angeles. In fact it's Invermay in Launceston, Tasmania. The upper story would appear to be a well constructed later addition.
The first of the two solitudes is easy to see. The second, far offshore, a little less obvious. Either way, with rain imminent and most people having retreated indoors, it was a great time to grab a little personal space for these two. As for us, we chose to forgo camping for the night and stay dry in a motel - it rained all night and into most of the next day.
