It's probably a decent subject for photography itself, but in the time I had what caught my attention was the abandoned mining equipment. This was actually the first of two times we were in Victor; what's pictured below is an ore-processing building; the chute in the middle image discharged tailings. click to view click to view click to view [last edit 8/8/2007 11:42 PM by Beaker - edited 1 times] EatsTooMuchJam  location: Minneapolis, MN Gender: Male Squirty "Stickybuns" von Cherrypants  |  |  |  |  |  Re: Victor, CO <Reply # 1 on 8/10/2007 4:14 AM >   (population < 500) != ghost town (population = 0) == ghost town "The large print giveth and the small print taketh away." -Tom Waits junkyard  location: LaCrosse, WI Gender: Male Strategic Beer Command where the metal hits the meat.  |  |  Re: Victor, CO <Reply # 2 on 8/12/2007 6:57 AM >   No doubt 500 is a metropolis in some parts of BFE. I drink gasoline for breakfeast and beer for dinner! Any problem can be licked with a case of beer and a few sticks of dynamite.

This ranges from Independence, population 0, abandoned since 1880, to St. Elmo, population < 10, but pretty heavily visited by tourists, to Victor, which was a pretty well-developed town that now survives as restaurant and antique-shop overflow to nearby Cripple Creek.
