Signs

Headframe

photos@dcclark.net (David Clark Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:00:40 GMT

]]>The Quincy #8 (Mesnard Mine) steel headframe access ladder. This mine saw action throughout the late 19th and entire 20th centuries, opening and closing repeatedly. This steel skeleton is the remains of a Homestake exploration in the 1970's -- no rock came up, only men going to explore.

Lensed Arrow

photos@dcclark.net (David Clark Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:00:29 GMT

]]>An arrow on the side of the Quincy #2 Shaft-Rockhouse in the Copper Country of Michigan. In the process of correcting perspective distortion, I accidentally produced this crazy effect.

Hoist Abstract

photos@dcclark.net (David Clark Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:59:20 GMT

]]>Try viewing this large and on black. Crushed bricks, tiles, and rocks on the Tamarack #3 hoist.

27/365 - S is for Symmetry

]]>You can view my blog post for this entry at Cliffs and Ruins, my 365 day blog! Here's another photo from my "everyday object" series.

Power

photos@dcclark.net (David Clark Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:53:42 GMT

]]>Power, color, lines, clouds. Power lines are a sign of progress. Humans come, power follows. This pole stands on Cliff Drive, near the Cliff Mine -- cold and abandoned for more than 100 years. When the Cliff closed, Steam was king, electric power barely even a fancy idea. What will there be in another 100 years? View it up close and personal.

132/365 - Rivets

photos@dcclark.net (David Clark Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:43:52 GMT

]]>100 years ago, steam power was ubiquitous. Boilers were the primary means of creating steam, for mechanical power -- steam engines, steam hoists, steam power of all kinds. Nowadays, of course, boilers are rather rare. During the world wars, most of the old metal boilers were scrapped. Inexplicably, this one survived, in place, still attached to its water feed and vents -- but totally exposed to the elements, too. Want to know more about my photos?

214/365 - Made in USA

photos@dcclark.net (David Clark Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:32:37 GMT

347/365 - Slotted

photos@dcclark.net (David Clark Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:16:37 GMT

]]>It's a mystery! It's lit with a flashlight! It's a day where I'm going crazy and couldn't find a good photo! :P (Edited to remove the "oops" factor... this is NOT my driveway!)

The entire building is a dome, built with this beautiful, richly colored wood. Cliffs and Ruins blog • David Clark Photography store

130

photos@dcclark.net (David Clark Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:04:57 GMT

]]>Snowmobile Trail 130, also known as Central Road (in the summer)... not a nice place to snowshoe, as it turns out. Cliffs and Ruins blog • David Clark Photography store

Blue Ice Abstract

photos@dcclark.net (David Clark Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:53:56 GMT

]]>It's been a while -- I've been out photographing, but being slow to upload! I took my yearly trek out to Hunter's Point in Copper Harbor last weekend. One side of this point faces Lake Superior, and the rocky shore collects some beautiful ice formations. This trough was layered over massive outcrops of conglomerate and basalt. Yes, it really was that color! Hint: Click to view it on black! Cliffs and Ruins photo blog
