Here’s a collection of some more shots from a recent hike to the site of the Black Eagle Mine ruins, which is just up the mountainside behind our house.  Most of these are abstract detail shots; you can read more about the Black Eagle’s history and see more images of the mine itself in my previous post and on Flickr.

I have an obsession with old rusty metal…and found a whole pile of it!

There is something beautiful about the color variations on aging metals, like the subtleties of the patina on this old machinery.

I wonder how long ago someone set that bone there?
