This mine was founded in the early 1800's, but unfortunately, not much history can be found about this mine after 1916. Though the mil structure is long gone, but its adit and shafts still exist today. 

This image was lit with (2) Lume Cubes and a NiteCore flashlight. 

(Disclaimer: Mines are very dangerous. Do not venture into these places without proper equipment or without someone who is educated about the hazards.) 

Photo: "Isolation Room Shadows"

Daylight seeps into the hallway from one of the isolation rooms in this Alabama Asylum constructed in the late 1800's. 

The shadows on the way are caused by slats in the doors of the isolation rooms. These slats allowed nurses to check on patients and also allow air flow into the room during very hot and humid summer months many years before air handling units were installed.

Last July, during a boat trip to Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, we anchored in Reid Inlet just before sunrise and ventured ashore to explore the beach around the base of the glacier. 

After returning to the boat and cracking open a few beers, we turned around to discover we were going to end an incredible day watching the full moon rise over the Reid glacier.

I wanted to see Moraine Lake for years because I always believed photographers adjusted the saturation of the water. 

When I hiked up the hill and took a look for myself, I was pleasantly surprised to see this color was definitely natural. 

I could have sat there for hours watching the clouds move across the peaks, but my Dad and his lady friend were waiting below and it would be a very very long and chilly walk back to camp.
