Very much a last minute decision! Yesterday I grabbed the last ticket and I am off to Røros tomorrow for a week. Just needed a break from all the builders and their mess and some good clean Norwegian air should help.
I am sorry I do not have time to comment my friends' pictures but I have a lot of organising to do before tomorrow morning.
See you all in about ten days then!
I had to grab a close up on this massive modified school bus. Looks like someone used it for some target practive.
The Rush Historic District is a zinc mining region of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. Now located within Buffalo National River, the district includes ruins dating from 1880 to 1940. The area was an important part of what became known as the North Arkansas Lead and Zinc District, and played a role in the development of railroads and modern infrastructure in the area.
During World War I the Rush Creek mines were the center of the zinc industry in Arkansas. Ten mining companies operated 13 developed mines within the district, more than in any other mining district within the North Arkansas District.
The buildings, structures, and ruins at Rush are the last visible remains of historic zinc mining activity in Arkansas. Of the other mining districts which once stretched across northern Arkansas, only limited debris now marks those sites. Rush is the only area left to retain not only the mines, but also buildings, structures, and ruins pertaining to mining and community life. The Rush Historic District exists today within the same environment and setting as it did during its periods of historic significance. Nearly as isolated today as it was historically, it has been little touched by time. The ghost town, mines, and waste piles visible on the bluffs immediately set the flavor of the district as an abandoned mountain mining community. The buildings, structures, ruins, and sites in the district exist in the same relationships as they did during the mining era.
took a trip in the 113 degree heat to the middle of the Mojave Desert to El Dorado Canyon near Nelson Nevada in the American Southwest to shoot some great photos of rusty gold like this pink Cadillac.

Title represents my thoughts on this road. It was raining this day, and, on either side of the road were toxic orange puddles. Yoiu would not want to wade in them!

The back view of the old wooden and brick buildings of the Dechambeau Hotel and the I.O.O.F. Hall stands in an empty field in Bodie, California, with remnants of structures nearby. The clear blue sky and distant hills create a sense of desolation.
Bodie, California is a town frozen in time and preserved by California State Parks in a state of “arrested decay.” Bodie became a State Historic Park in 1962 and maintains the buildings just as they were found when the State took over the town – but they do not restore the buildings, instead choosing to simply preserve the buildings in their aged and weathered 1880s appearance.
Just before we left chilly, windy Virginia City, this was our last view before getting back into the car where we could warm up at last.

Groganville which was formerly a mining town and now has a very low population. Close to Mareeba in Queensland, Australia.
The name Groganville is derived from Patrick Grogan, who operated a shop in the town in the 1890s. It was formerly known as Limestone.
Patrick Grogan was the son of Bryan Grogan & Grandson of William Grogan convict per the Isabella in 1823. William Grogan held 9800 acres on the Lachland Valley way near Bowning in New South Wales. it was known as the Grogan Farm at Limestone Creek, a portion of it was split off to Bryan & became known as "Groganville" & was operated by Patrick's older half-brother WJ Grogan.
Patrick encouraged his brothers to the new gold fields of Far North Queensland. James Killian Grogan, John & Brian Grogan joined him, as did their father Bryan. The Grogan family owned many business ventures in the new town of Limestone creek including the butchering or abattoir business as well as the cordial factory and pubs in town as well as a large portion of the Anglo Saxon mine.

On the way back from Ely Nevada we stopped in the most haunted city in Nevada, Pioche. Used my infrared camera, to see if I could catch a ghost.

I love this old Chevy truck. I love the color the curves and the lines. I think Chevrolet made the best looking trucks back then. I love shooting these old rust buckets in the dark of night. You can light them how you want, and the dark hides anything you don't want to show. Plus it's fun running around Nelson, at night.

I've just returned from an exciting trip to dazzling Las Vegas! One of the highlights was exploring a couple of historic mining towns in the desert, with Nelson topping my list. I was so captivated by its charm that I visited twice. The place was filled with a fascinating array of old vehicles, making it a challenge to decide where to look first.
This cabin is located at the end of the Mineral King Rd. in Kings Canyon N. P. It has been restored by the park and I think it is the only original structure left in the area. In the late 1800s, there were plans to build up the area because of mining in the area. The severe winters in the area made the idea pretty difficult and it never took off. Later Disney wanted to turn this valley into a large ski resort but the Sierra Club and others stopped that idea from becoming a reality. When this area became part of Sequoia N. P., it was no longer an issue. The trail that leads into the valley has some spectacular views.
The Mineral King Road turn off is before you get to the main section of Sequoia N. P. The turn off is just after the town of Three Rivers and goes another 20 miles on a windy rough road to get to the valley. But once you get here, the views are worth the effort.
I love dusk and sunsets. In the desert, the sun setting can signal the end of a hot desert day, and the start of a cool Mojave night. I love the general store, water tower and barn, in dark shadow silhouette, in the foreground, against the sun setting over Black Canyon and the Colorado River, in the distance.

When I was a younger man I often let things bother me more than I do today. They usually were little things like the checking account being overdrawn, the transmission seizing on our only car, or being laid off at Christmas time. Margaret was always telling me "just let go." My mind would always scream "how the hell do you just let go?" Now, many years later I'm brought full circle to these more tumultuous times by a bonafide example of what letting go can look like. I'm glad I had sense enough to hold on just a little bit. Although my sliding got a little out of control on this one for sure.
Happy Sliders Sunday everyone.

The same house as my last post. This time shot head-on with my night lense after the blue hour.
