Hodge-podge

I had occasion to spend some time at Eckley Miners" Village over the weekend.  It's an interesting place for lovers of history.  It is also a visual treat.



A planned 19th century coal mining town, it has some great examples of how immigrant coal miners lived.  And they lived in some great old wooden structures.  To a lot of people, the structures probably look pretty shack-like, but I see such great textures and color and wear, it's hard to know where to point the camera!



Flaking paint, multiple layers of peeling siding, saggy beams - there's a lot going on!  And the shape of some of the structures....



Need more room?  Just add it!
