The scenery, the textures of the buildings, and the remnants of a bustling mining town really called to me. I could sense the joy of the town and the hardship that the mining life demanded. It affected me in ways I can’t quite put words to.

Cool pics. It speaks of hard work and a hard life. Many a child was born in those beds. Maybe you sensed the ghosts?

  I think you are right, I did sense the life that was once there.

What a very interesting place. Well persevered and the history is interesting all those folks going back each time to make it work. Yes I would expect there are spirits around. Thank you for sharing and the photos!!

  The word that comes to my mind is “indomitable”.
