As you travel down the main road entering the little town of Chloride, after you pass a fantastic old hay truck on your right, you will come to the Chloride General Store which will be located on your left. In front of a former service station, vintage gas pumps wait for customers who will never return. The town was named for the chloride silver ore that was discovered nearby in 1863. Chloride has been served by both stage coaches and trains during its colorful history. By the start of the 20th century there were over 2000 residents, but when World War II closed the mines, the people moved on. Several vintage buildings remain; the general store dates from 1928. As with many mining towns, the buildings were built of wood and many original buildings were lost to fires. However, there are still a few of the originals around; the old bank vault, the 2 room jail, the old Santa Fe Railroad Station, and the post office is today located in what was once the old pool hall. That same post office (though it has changed locations) is said to be the oldest continually functioning post office in Arizona. Chloride sits at an elevation of 4,009 ft above sea level; high desert flora & fauna! Chloride lies under the Cerbat Mountains and is one of oldest mining communities in Arizona. Situated between Kingman, AZ and Boulder City, NV, just a few miles off the major “NAFTA” highway US 93, main corridor from Mexico to Canada. Turn east at mile post marker 53, onto Mohave County Rte 125. A few miles off the main highway and many miles back in time. It is a small village of 250 people with 1 motel, 2 restaurants, 2 bars, 1 convenience store and several gift shops. More about them later.

We took a drive out to a great little town called Chloride, located out off of Hwy 93 a couple of weeks ago. Met some great people there and had a great day. Plan to go back and get some shots of the gunfights and entertainment that is part of the town’s culture. This is a capture of the sign entering into Chloride. This old mining town, located between Kingman, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada, was founded in 1862 with the discovery of silver. Chloride once had a 75 mines in operation and a population of over 2,000. Today, artists, writers, musicians and craftsmen have shops and studios in the old historic buildings. This is the first of a series about the mining town of Chloride, Arizona. I will continue with more information in each posting.

The highways were packed on this trip home due to holidays. So, I decided to try something different and drove the 100+ miles from my home north of Atlanta to my folks house south of Macon using surface roads. No interstate expressways. The Atlanta part was interesting. It’s not like old highways were straight, but I’m pretty sure the city of Atlanta and the interstates that runs straight through downtown had broken it up even worse. It was a maze of poorly marked streets. It began to get dark by the time I got out of the city proper, but I took “0ld 341” just because I wanted to see what Culloden looked like since it was apparently named for the Scottish battlefield I had visited months before. In the twilight, I managed to take a long exposure of this lovely old gas station decaying along the side of a forgotten highway. More photos of Rural America

Why are children hungry in America? The goal of American farm policy should be to promote sustainable agriculture, reduce hunger, and eliminate food insecurity. It makes no sense that any person in America should ever go to sleep hungry.

Nestled outside of Copper Mountain in Colorado, this caught my attention fast as I was coming back home to Denver. It literally came out of no where, and thus I slammed on the breaks and made a B-line for the shoulder of the road. This was an utterly incredible scene, looking like it has never even been touched by man…..standing here looking at this, was nothing but absolute paradise….. / --John —-—-—-—-— See more on my website jdebordphoto.com

Depicts an old shed slumping into the autumn landscape, recalls a simpler time and way of life. This actually exists inside the metro Area of Atlanta, in an area fast giving way to subdivisions and shopping malls. Had to catch it before it was gone… More photos of Rural America

I love patterns in nature, call me a huge sucker for them. It can be abstraction or realism, but either way I just love em. It ranks up there with textures in nature for me. But when you add a lil light into that, you can get an image that just tends to pop. This one did that very thing to me, when I was out shooting. It really caught my eye….captured on a farm in rural Colorado, in the morning light. / Thoughts appreciated! :)

Boreas Pass, Colorado…..one of my favorite places on the face of the Earth to shoot at….the fact that there is hardly anyone ever up here and the fields of Wildflowers go on forever really make this quite an extraordinary place. Located on the Continental Divide, it reaches an altitude of 11,481 feet high. The pass was formerly known as Breckenridge Pass in the 1860s, when it served as an early route for thousands of prospectors during the Colorado Gold Rush who crossed from South Park to look for gold in the valley of the Blue around Breckenridge. In 1866, it was widened to a wagon road that accommodated stagecoaches. In 1882, under the direction of Sidney Dillon of the Union Pacific Railroad , the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad (by then controlled by the Union Pacific) begun laying narrow gauge tracks up the pass, which Dillon renamed in honor of Boreas, the Ancient Greek god of the North Wind.
