Tombstone, Arizona

"The Town Too Tough to Die!"


Tombstone was founded in 1877 by a prospector named Ed Schieffelin. Ed was staying at what was then called Camp Huachuca (wa-chu-ka) as part of a scouting expedition against the Chiricahua (chir-i-cow-uh) Apaches. During his time there he would venture out into the wilderness "looking for rocks", all the while ignoring the warnings about the native Apaches he received from the soldiers at the camp. They would tell him, "Ed, the only stone you will find out there will be your tombstone". Well, Ed did find his stone near Goose Flats and it was Silver. So, remembering the words of warning from the soldiers at Camp Huachuca, and using his sly sense of humor he named his first mine The Tombstone.

Your photos look like a time machine))
Especially the last one in sepia tone
Great reportage from that world! :-)

Thanks, happy to see you got the intent of the monochrome image. I used Nic OXO plugin filters. I had not played with them much, lots of fun options!

In such cases, I like to pick up shades of tool split toning in Laytrum :)
