I stumbled across a post at DSLRBlog, drawing attention to this gallery of recent photographs of old mining communities, or Ghost Towns. Don’t get me started on the web design (frames! obnoxious colors!), but once you get past that, the content is pretty well organized. One of the coolest features is the “Ghost Town Maps”, which is a clickable map of the various locations they shot. Some of the locations have descriptions of the history of the towns and the people, and there’s even a “Gold Rush History” page.

If you’re into that sort of thing, I highly recommend you check it out.
