Someone told me the posts were from an old train trestle, they seem a bit small to me to hold a train. They lend an interesting geometry to the water.

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument is a U.S. National Monument created to protect Mogollon cliff dwellings in the Gila Wilderness on the headwaters of the Gila River in southwest New Mexico. The 533-acre (2.16 km2) national monument was established by President Theodore Roosevelt through executive proclamation on November 16, 1907. It is located in the extreme southern portion of Catron County. Visitors can access the Monument by traveling northbound from Silver City, New Mexico approximately 37 miles on NM 15.
Considered by archaeologists to be on the northernmost portion of the Mogollon People's sphere of influence, the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument is home to two prominent ruins sites among a collection of smaller sites located within the Gila Wilderness inside the Gila National Forest. The Monument landscape ranges in elevation from around 5,700 to 7,300 feet above sea level and follows the branches of the Gila River. The terrain around the ruins is rugged and arid, and contains steep-sided canyons cut by shallow spring rivers and mesas and bluffs forested with Ponderosa pine, Gambel's oak, Douglas fir, New Mexico juniper, pinon pine, and alligator juniper (among others). The area geologic history stems from the Oligocene epoch and volcanic activity that subsequently covered the area with ash. The Monument's hot springs are remnants of this volcanic history.
The Monument consists of 553 acres (2.24 km2) and contains the remains of a Mimbres Culture community in various locations, two of which are most prominent. The namesake ruins' developers made use of natural caves to build interlinked dwellings within five cliff alcoves above Cliff Dweller Canyon. The TJ Ruins are located on a bluff overlooking the Gila River. The Mogollon Peoples are believed to have inhabited the region from between 1275 and into the early 14th century, during the Pueblo III Era.
Archaeologists have identified 46 rooms in the five caves on Cliff Dweller Canyon, and believed they were occupied by 10 to 15 families. The "Heart-Bar Site" or the TJ Ruins (named for the former ranch which the mesa takes its name from) located on TJ Mesa are largely un-excavated. It is not known why the community was abandoned.
Hopi oral tradition refers to migrations occurred based cycles calendars, and in response to changing environmental conditions. Other ruins include Javalina House, about 1/3 mile above the main ruin, West Fork Ruin, currently under Highway 15 across from Woody Corral, Three Mile Ruin along the west fork of the Gila River, and middle fork of the Gila River at the 11 room Cosgrove Ruin. Dendrochronology (tree ring dating) determined that the wood used in the dwellings were cut between 1276 and 1287. The region provided for growing, gathering and hunting food.
To visit the namesake dwellings, requires visitors to hike a well-traveled mile (1.6 km) long trail loop with several foot bridges over a stream. The entire walk takes about an hour. The hike begins at an elevation of 5695 Feet (1736 Meters) and ends at 5875 Feet (1790 Meters).
A museum and visitors center is located at the monument near the TJ Ruins. The visitor center is jointly operated by the U.S. Forest Service, and the National Park Service. The Museum hosts exhibits of Apache and Mogollon artifacts, uncovered both in the surrounding wilderness, and at the Monument. Displayed items include a bracelet crafted from Glycymeris (shells) Bittersweet clam shell. Believed to have been brought via trade from the Gulf of California, to Snaketown (an ancient village on the right bank of the Gila River on the modern-day Gila River Indian Community south of the village of Ahwatukee), the shell eventually was etched and drilled by Hohokam artisans. The bracelet is believed then to have made its way up the Gila River from Arizona to the Gila river community, again, by way of trade.
Other nearby attractions include hot springs, associated ruins sites, national forest hiking trails and fishing along the Gila River.

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument (sprich: Hi:la) ist ein amerikanisches National Monument und liegt im US-Bundesstaat New Mexico etwa 70 km nördlich der Stadt Silver City am New Mexico State Highway 15. Das Nationalmonument beherbergt und schützt unter anderem die Überreste von Höhlenbauten (Cliff Dwellings) der Mogollon-Kultur, die in diesen Bauten vom 13. Jahrhundert bis ins beginnende 14. Jahrhundert lebten.
Die Angehörigen der Mogollon-Kultur besiedelte das Gebiet des heutigen Nationalmonuments etwa ab dem Ende des 1. Jahrhunderts. Bei den Mogollon handelte es sich um ein sesshaftes Volk, das sich seine Lebensgrundlage sowohl durch Jagen und Sammeln als auch durch den Anbau von Getreide und Bohnen schuf.
Das früheste Bauwerk, das im Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument nachgewiesen werden konnte, ist ein sogenanntes Pit House (Erdhaus), dessen Errichtung bereits in diese Zeit fällt. Das Bauwerk befand sich in offenem Gelände, war kreisrund und charakterisierte sich dadurch, dass sich der Fußboden unter dem umgebenden Erdbodenniveau befand. Bereits zu diesem Zeitpunkt stellten die Mogollon einfache Töpfereiwaren her.
Im Nationalmonument konnten auch Bauwerke späterer Zeit nachgewiesen werden. Im Zeitraum um das Jahr 1000 erbauten die Mogollon rechteckige Bauwerke, die im Unterschied zu früheren Objekten vollständig über dem Erdbodenniveau errichtet waren. Beim Großteil dieser Objekte handelte es sich um feste, gemauerte Bauwerke, lediglich ein kleiner Teil bestand noch aus geflochtenen Zweigen. Charakteristisch für diese Epoche war die Herstellung von weißen Töpfereiwaren mit schwarzen Elementen.
Ab etwa dem 13. Jahrhundert begann im Gebiet des heutigen Nationalmonuments für die Mogollon die Pueblo-Epoche. Obgleich es im Park auch Überreste der klassischen Pueblobauweise gibt, stellen die Cliff Dwellings die zentrale Siedlungsform dieser Zeit dar. Diese Höhlenbauten sind gleichzeitig auch Namensgeber und Hauptattraktion des Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monuments.
Fünf große Höhlen, hoch in den Felsen eines Seitencanyons des West Fork Gila Rivers, bildeten die natürliche Basis für die Errichtung dieser beeindruckenden Bauwerke. Insgesamt wurden in diesen Höhlen etwa 40 Räume angelegt. Die Wände der Bauten waren aus Steinen aus der unmittelbaren Umgebung errichtet, das verwendete Holz wurde auf den Zeitraum um das Jahr 1270 datiert.
Es wird geschätzt, dass zirka 10 bis 15 Familien diese Bauwerke ungefähr eine Generation lang nutzen. Über das Ende der Kultur der Mogollon ist wenig bekannt. Die Bewohner verließen die Cliff Dwellings bereits im frühen 14. Jahrhundert wieder. Warum sie gingen und wohin, ist nach wie vor Gegenstand von Diskussionen. Eine allgemein als wahrscheinlich anerkannte Theorie besagt, dass sie sich mit anderen Pueblovölkern des amerikanischen Südwestens vermischten und so als eigenständige Kultur aufhörten zu existieren.
Nachdem die Cliff Dwellings von ihren Einwohnern verlassen worden waren, war das Gebiet des heutigen Nationalmonuments für einige Jahre unbewohnt. Bald begannen jedoch nomadische Gruppen von Apachen in dem Gebiet heimisch zu werden. Später drangen vom Süden her auch spanische Siedler in die Gegend vor und siedelten sich hauptsächlich im Süden und Osten des heutigen Parks an.
Am 30. Dezember 1853 erwarben die Vereinigten Staaten im Zuge des Gadsden Purchase (Gadsden-Kauf) ein Gebiet von 77.700 km² von Mexiko. Diese Vereinbarung wurde zwischen James Gadsden, dem Minister für die Beziehungen zu Mexiko, und dem mexikanischen Präsidenten Antonio López de Santa Anna getroffen. Dies stellte den Beginn der amerikanischen Besiedelung dieser Gegend dar. Als es durch den Zuzug immer weiterer Siedler (homesteaders) zu Spannungen mit den lokalen Apachen kam, wurde im nahen Gila Hot Springs ein Militärcamp zum Schutz der Siedler angelegt.
m 16. November 1907 wurde ein Gebiet von ca. 216 Hektar um die Höhlenbauten als Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument gewidmet. Das National Monument ist die einzige nationale Einrichtung in den Vereinigten Staaten, die Überreste der Kultur der Mogollon beherbergt. Der Park unterhält ein Besucherzentrum, das Informationsmaterial anbietet und ein kleines Museum mit Bookshop enthält.
Die Cliff Dwellings befinden sich entlang eines etwa 1,6 km langen Fußweges und liegen 55 m über dem Talboden. Der Beginn des Fußweges (trailhead) liegt einige Kilometer vom Besucherzentrum entfernt und ist mit dem Fahrzeug zu erreichen.
Das National Monument grenzt unmittelbar an die Gila Wilderness Area, des ersten Schutzgebietes dieser Art überhaupt in den Vereinigten Staaten. Eine Wilderness Area steht generell unter besonderem Schutz und darf keinerlei Zeugnisse menschlicher Eingriffe (Straßen, Bauwerke) enthalten.

Cleaning out my old Kennedy tool boxes…this pen from Grandview Cycle Shop emerged. I worked there approximately 1978 to 1980. A multi generational family owned business, it was a great place to work.
this was taken in "The Dungeon".
the dungeon is an abandoned underground parking lot here in jupiter, florida that they never finished building.
it's huge, and despite this, somehow every single wall is covered with racist/gang graffiti.
i like it though.
it's scary, but every time i go, it's still an adventure.

From an abandoned mental institution in Norway. One year after my first visit, I went back with new camera (Canon 5D mII) together with Martin and Geir.
Great day. Went through all three buildings. Sad to see them even more vandalised than last time. I tried to shoot other things than corridors and rooms, but I guess I will upload a couple of those as well.
Info about the place: Parts of Lier Psychiatric Hospital was closed in 1986 and are still abandoned. It is located outside Oslo in Norway.
Here the doctors tested new medicins and ways to help the patients. Lobotomy, electroshock and drugs like LSD was used.
It's a spooky place with a very interesting history.

I've been volunteering at the Maryland state archaeology lab processing artifacts. The things we are working on are from a 19th century site in Baltimore. This is a piece of a 19th century transfer print Pearlware dish that was in one of my bags today. The task is to separate all the different materials into their own bags for storage and list them on a data input form. We mostly have just pieces of things- some very small. I had two bags of ceramic shards and that ended up with 23 after sorting and describing.
I have a BA in Anthropology/Archaeology that I earned in my late 30s while working full time in accounting. So nice to put it to use now that I have retired!!! As strange as it sounds, I enjoy this. There's a mystery about who had the piece last and how it ended up where it was.
I liked being able to switch from my DSLR (previous shot) to iPhone.to get this ultra-wide shot. DeepFusion did some weird things though which I decided not to clean up - most especially the way the yellow stripe along the bottom of the loco body gets extended in front of it. I should probably have used a manual camera app.

One last look at NYC Ade, Indiana before I move on. Conrail abandoned this segment of the NYC's Egyptian line in 1999. Even though the line has been gone for over 20 years, these remnants still exist. For such a small location, one could almost start a museum from what's left just here. These are some photos I have taken of what is left, because there is nothing left to photograph. Short descriptions of each will go left to right, top to bottom...
