"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."

A double handyman's delight with both a house and a car restoration!
The car checks out to be a 1972 Austin Mini 850 and is past salvaging from the look! Got to love the upside down flat back tyre!
I've deliberately processed this with a bit of an old flat look to tie in with the subjects hopefully!

So thankful for the generosity others show our family. We’ve been given eggs multiple times by different people, as well as being blessed by many other generous forms of sharing. This image serves as a reminder of the kindness we have been shown by others.
So thankful for these eggs that were generously given to our family (this is two dozen of the five dozen that were given), that helped provide some meals for our family. I was captivated by the colors and unique features of each of the eggs as I carefully washed them and found them and the goodness and meaning behind them so beautiful that I was compelled to photograph them.
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.
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"
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.
Two Sisters Antiques is located in downtown Sandwich,IL. The old brick home is historically significant as one of the earliest permanent structures in the town, built in the 1850's as a meeting house for the fledgling towns early leaders. It has been added on to several times, but still shows a lot of great early details inside...
Have a awesome bench Monday all!
Two old, possibly forgotten, certainly unloved, boats sit in the River Orwell, they are in good company with other, perhaps even less fortunate and more decrepid sunken, sinking hulks situated closeby.
A simple shot made tricky as I wanted to simplify the image to focus attention on the wrecks and provide them some much needed care and attention.
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.
Red Sea Two-Bar Clownfish in its host anemone. Photographed with a Nikonos IV set up with the Nikon closeup kit.
GROUP: MACRO MONDAYS
THEME: TWO
SUBJECT: TWO FROM A CLUSTER OF MANY
I don't know what this plant is called but the flowers are in clusters and these two are part of a cluster. These flowers are very tiny, no bigger than 3/8" so even with the empty spaces, this is no more than 3/4" horizontally. I believe this is probably the closest I have photographed a subject for Macro Mondays.
Maybe photo stacking would have helped me with this but though I know the logic behind the process, I have never tried it before.
Happy New Week, Everyone!
