The Grand Canyon Trip : I made my first solo trip to the Grand Canyon August 2,3 & 4 of 2007.  What an experience!  I believe the granduer is even more magnificent when one is alone than with other people.  If there is nobody there to disturb you, your thoughts are yours alone.  It is hard to imagine, even when you are standing on the edge, that this is not a movie set that you have wondered into.  I did not take any kind of ipod (or such) with me so the solitude was near deafening at times.  When sunset came near and the wind died down as it usually does as the air cools, the silense was even more obvious because the sounds of the birds and other creatures became that much more vivid.  It also became quite evident that through these eyes a little piece of heaven could be glimpsed.  I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them for you.

The Vulture Gold Mine - Circa 1883 : The Vulture Gold Mine in Wickenburg, Arizona was discovered more than a century ago in October, 1863.  It was closed by a Federal Edict called Government Order L-208 in 1942 shortly after America got in World War II.  The mine was purchased on November 7, 1961 by Dr. Geroge H Mangun as a site for his organization, The Desert Science Center.  This never came to be.

This building was made of rich gold ore and now is said to be valuable enough that the owner would never have to work again in his/her lifetime.

I felt the site and story required the images be converted to black & white.  Thank you for indulging my vision.
