Bruiser and Elle's Excellent Adventure - Take 1


In the first of a series this week, Bruiser and I headed out to the hinterlands this past weekend for fun, beer and views of destruction. This photo was snapped in Centralia, Pennsylanvia, site of a 43 year-old mine fire that was simmering beneath our feet. You'll see here that we are standing over where old Rt 61 literally split due to the extreme heat of the mine fire. Central, located in the heart of PA's anthracite coal country, was once a thriving town. Now, only about 10 families remain, due to the long-burning fire. For more information about the almost non-existent town of Centralia, pop over here.

Ahhh...the wonders of Photoshop! You got mad skillz, Elle. Can't wait to see what else you create from our own Ansel-Adams-reincarnate's snapshots.
