Gold King Mine

Description

Since I have entered several photos of the Gold King Mine and Ghost Town, I thought you might enjoy seeing the gentleman who now owns the site and takes care of it all. In 1890 this was Haynes, Arizona, which was a suburb of Jerome and support for the mine workers. A 1200 ft. deep shaft was dug looking for copper, but they hit gold instead!

Great character captured here, JudyAnn. And the style you did it in has an old-time look - just perfect for this shot. One of my favorites of yours lately. TED #9560295

Great photographers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.
