Going Places: Jerome

[nepenthe]

I've been neglecting this journal of late, but that doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything. Au contraire, I've been wandering the state of Arizona and have returned with photographic evidence. Day One, Jerome.



The Hotel Connor: a brothel!

I'm not a very good photo-journalist. If I were, I would have done a better job of photographing this tiered mountain city. As it is, I took a lot of photos of the artful way many of the buildings have come to disrepair.

Jerome was an old mining town that in the 60's and 70's was turned into an artist's colony. Was somewhat underwhelmed by the art.

The place is most notable for the way you'll scream AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH every time you think about looking a foot to your left. Because it is inevitably a sheer drop to your doom.
