Baby Doe Tabor
Her story could easley be a best seller or a movie block buster
Baby Doe slipped into history here alone in Leadville at her home in her silvermine
long after it stopped makeing money. many will tell you she froze to death
don't buy it, she passed way from a heart attack
If you ever get to Leadville colorado its a treasue of wild west history
oh one more thing if your are like old blizzard and love history and marvelous photoraphy go to Leadville-- when the winter storms come--- bring your long underwear LOL

Nikon D50

An outstanding mono shot. I would love to go to Leadville in the Winter, I guess I would need 4WD to go with the long underwear.

Great bit of history , but you have an exceptional monochrome image.
The monochrome values attract the viewers eye instantly and the composition is spot on.
Tack sharp and a pleasure to view.
You always have great monochrome images.
