Untitled 12 by Adam Wynn

Bodie Ghost Town in the Seirra Nevada Mountains in Eastern California. This 1800’s Gold town once had a thriving population of 10,000 people. It was a true wild western town with gun fights, saloons and a huge redlight district.
Awaiting congregation by igotmeacanon

Salisbury is unique amongst medieval English cathedrals, built within one century with no substantial later additions. The building itself is remarkable, a testimony to the faith and practical skills of those who erected it.

Recent Work

Chilworth Gunpoweder Mills by Arrowman

Chilworth Gunpowder Works was one of the largest, most prestigious and longest-lived powder mills in the country. Established by the East India Company in 1625, it was worked by a string private companies and became one of the most significant suppliers of gunpowder to the Government. In 1885, a consortium which included leading German powder manufacturers acquired the works to produce a new type of gunpowder known as ‘brown’ or ‘cocoa’ powder, for use in the largest guns of the day. By the end of the 1880s, and after extensive rebuilding, contemporary commentators regarded the factory as being of international standing. The archaeological remains of the works are of great significance, because the layout of almost the whole factory can be understood careful analysis of its earthworks, watercourses, ruins and standing buildings. This may imply that there is good potential for the survival of buried archaeological deposits relating to the early use of the site. Because of the international standing of the factory, some of the buildings, like the powder mills built in the 1880s, are surprisingly ornate, and therefore important in their own right. As a result, English Heritage has decided to give the area legal protection as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Old Barn Billboard on River Road
Tired by LoisBryan

I’ve stopped and snapped this wonderful barn, located near Everett along route 30 in Pennsylvania, more than once. Still haven’t quite captured its essence … but I’m working on it!! This image was taken on Saturday, Janury 3, 2009, with the Nikon D40x using the Nikkor 18-200mm lens with the cp filter. It has been put thru HDR with PhotoMatix, then tinkered around with a bit in PhotoShop. Obsidian Dawn

Cwmystwyth Lead Mine - 3 by PommieGranite

A row of ruined miners cottages from the last century. The houses were built from local stone and blend in withthe scenery very well. The remains of the extraction facility is also there. Cwmystwyth has been worked intermittently since the bronze age, though probably not continually. This site has recently been designated as a site of special scientific interest and is being renovated. In the hills, there are still mine shafts that have not yet been capped or made safe – so the visitor with children should be aware of the risks. / For more information and links use Wikipedia. / The site can be found on Google Map just off an anonymous road, approx. 12.5 miles from Rhayader and 6 miles from Devl’s Gate. Enter “Cwmystwyth Lead Mine” into Google map and then click for “See all 20 results for Lead Mine”.

This fort was built in the 1400’s to keep the Turks from invading Constantinople.
Cwmystwyth Lead Mine 2 by PommieGranite

This ruined miner’s cottage is hard to see with the backdrop of scree covered hills. The cottage was made from the same rock and blends in well with the surroundings. A few cottages and the remains of the extraction plant remain, though care is needed especially with children as some of the mine workings have not yet been made safe. / To find this, enter Cwmystwyth in Google map and a location close by, but on the opposite side of the road is identified – the road number is not indicated, but it is found about 12. 5 miles NW of Rhayader (Powys) and 6 miles E of Devil’s Bridge (Dyfed) on a small winding hill road.
