Sharing a couple of pictures today of old mining car and machine details! The old numbers, the colors coming through, the vintage details…I texture and the age comes through. Small engines, old mine cars, just sitting in the undergrowth, discarded, forgotten, resting after years of hard work.(I would love for you to come back […]

The safety record sign present at the old, abandoned mine, with the lead names of the safest workers still vaguely discernible after all these years… (I would love for you to come back to visit, so please SUBSCRIBE using one of the buttons I have up there at the top on the left. And be sure to find me on […]
The big old water tower at the Missouri Mines. I forgot I had taken this one. Look at that oil-rubbed bronze color. Love it. Something bright, old, and simple for Saturday, huh? Have a great day! (I would love for you to come back to visit, so please SUBSCRIBE using one of the buttons […]
From inside an abandoned factory… (I would love for you to come back to visit, so please SUBSCRIBE using one of the buttons I have up there at the top on the left. And be sure to find me on Facebook for behind the scenes stuff and general goofiness. I’m on Twitter, too, but be […]
I hope that my technical post title didn’t discourage. I know, I know – I’m an expert on all these old things. This appears to be a cool-looking, old-timey, steampunkish machine thingy. I realize that’s highly technical jargon, but, don’t worry, there won’t be a quiz. 😛 This appears to be some sort of power […]
I love details. I love this door. I love this old light. I love the textured old brick. I could have done an entire booklet on just details from the Missouri Mine site alone. (I would love for you to come back to visit, so please SUBSCRIBE using one of the buttons I have up […]
While the scale of the buildings at sites like the Missouri Mines historical site are always awe-inspiring, one of my favorite things is to find the little details that we just don’t have in modern buildings today. Like this nifty exterior lamp on the side of one of the mining buildings. I love the swirly […]
Just a nice easy picture today. Well, easy, except for pull over and grabbing a quick shot as traffic went by. LOL That’s the fun thing about the Arch in St. Louis – you can almost always find new places you can see it from. As long as you are willing to jump out of […]
This building is always a little bit disconcerting when you are driving down Broadway in South City, St. Louis, MO. This portion of Broadway is largely industrial, more than a little rundown, and some parts are downright unsafe. You are driving along the gray buildings, piles of salvage and refuse, and then, BAM, you are […]
Heh. Came across this really cool, rusty, old foot bridge in one of my travels with The Hubs. Not part of a fancy park or anything, this is just along one of the many walk/bike paths in the ‘Lou, but this section didn’t look particularly well-maintained. Parts of the concrete were all broken up and […]
