Vulture City Ghost Town near Wickenburg, AZ
f/9 – 1/640 sec – ISO 200 – Focal Length 50 mm

Vulture City is the remnants of a gold mine town in the Arizona desert from the late 1800’s.  As far as ghost towns go, Vulture City is rather well preserved.  It is privately owned which helps keep people from looting whatever remains of its buildings.  But at the same time the owner charges admission to tour the 1/2 dozen or so remaining buildings and has taken some “artistic” liberties by staging things a bit and adding back in some “artifacts” to keep the tourists happy.  Nevertheless, the photographic opportunities are plentiful.  There are old mining equipment, adobe and wood buildings and a multitude of paraphernalia scattered about.  With some careful composing and taking time to explore and see you are sure to walk away with some great images.
