arizona I don't think I'd let my kids play on this...

Taken in Ruby, Arizona - a "ghost town", actually an old abandoned mining town. This slide was behind the old school house. I'll attach another view of it - it was SO tall and steep, even as a brand new slide, I can't imagine that it was safe. It was also difficult to find an angle that worked well for a composition, as even with my wide lens it was so big and the space around it limiting in order to step back and fit the whole thing in. What are your thoughts?

Here is a different view that sort of gives you an idea of how precarious the slide is....

Please read my comments about the composition of this image. Any

A unique composition that works well here. LOL... a severe case of "rust rear" would certainly result from a slide down this! Good shot.... Mike

 

 

that town might have been abandoned as all inhabitants did not survive gliding down that contraption. that's my thought, worth a penny. cheers, sam

I think your view of the old slide is perfect and quite original. I'm not sure I would have thought to do it this way and I'm envious of your visit to the old ghost town.

Ha,ha,ha!!!...Also I, so thik...!...Ciaomau!

Nicely tilted. Good work. Regards.

Ghost town children had the best play equipment. I would slide on this! I think it looks immensely fun. Wonderful composition, I love the trees and dead grass, it makes it look like a ghost town, dead and lonely. The flowers and to the photo nicely. I really like this.
