The ghost town of Shakespeare lies about 5 miles southwest of Lordsberg, New Mexico The silver mining camp was short lived starting in about 1870 and folding when the railroad went through Lordsberg later in the 1870's.
This is my latest build, the mining outpost. It took me about a year to build, mainly due to my lack of Lego bricks. It's built on three 32x32 base plates, two 8x16 base plates, and one 16x16 base plate.I'm not really sure how many pieces it has, but I'm sure it's somewhere around 4000-5000. This is my first MOC that I've actually put forth the time to publish and show off. A full video describing the build as well as a timelapse can be found at my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCsLl7-5zilS3CK3343jWHBw/featured

This was my first trip to the Sherwood Forest Faire, SE of Austin, TX. It's much smaller than the Texas Renaissance Festival but it had a nice feel to it. I went there for 2 days in March 2013. I'll definitely be going back to it next year!

This culvert carries a stream under the spoil tip of Little Cannel Pit, Aspull. The nineteenth century brickwork is beginning to fail and the pressure of the waste above has distorted the profile in some lengths. What will happen when it inevitably collapses?

Virginia City is a census-designated place (CDP) that is the county seat of Storey County, Nevada. It is part of the Reno–Sparks Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 855 at the 2010 Census.
Virginia City is one of the oldest established communities in Nevada. Like many cities and towns in the state, Virginia City was a mining boomtown; it appeared virtually overnight as a result of the Comstock Lode silver strike of 1859.
At its peak, Virginia City had a population of over 15,000 residents and was called the richest city in America. During the 20 years following the Comstock success "about $400 million was taken out of the ground." Most of the miners who came to the city were Cornish or Irish. In 1870, Asians were 7.6% of the population. When the Comstock Lode ran out in 1898, the city's population declined sharply.
Virginia City could be considered the "birthplace" of Mark Twain, as it was here in February 1863 that writer Samuel Clemens, then a reporter on the local Territorial Enterprise newspaper, first used his famous pen name.
Many locals work at the shops in town that cater to tourists, while others seek jobs in the surrounding cities. Virginia City draws over 2 million visitors per year and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Coober Pedy is a town in northern South Australia, 846 kilometres north of Adelaide on the Stuart Highway. According to the 2011 census, its population was 1,695 (953 males, 742 females, including 275 indigenous Australians). The town is sometimes referred to as the "opal capital of the world" because of the quantity of precious opals that are mined there. Coober Pedy is renowned for its below-ground residences, called "dugouts", which are built due to the scorching daytime heat. The name "Coober Pedy" comes from the local Aboriginal term kupa-piti, which means "white man's hole".
Opal was found in Coober Pedy on 1 February 1915; since then the town has been supplying most of the world's gem-quality opal. Coober Pedy today relies as much on tourism as the opal mining industry to provide the community with employment and sustainability. Coober Pedy has over 70 opal fields and is the largest opal mining area in the world.
