Description
Gold King Mine
Jerome, Arizona
We had the place to ourselves for most of the morning, and then all at once it was overrun by people with nice cameras. One of them asked me if I was with "Patterns and Textures," which was a photography class they were taking together. I said, "No, we're independently crazy."
That doesn't mean I didn't take any pattern and texture shots!!
Concentrating on only patterns and textures at a place like the Gold King seems limiting to me, but I suppose if you live nearby and can go any time you want, you can afford to shoot just one sort of thing and come back another day.
Zoom is good ... the quality seems better in full view.

well seen and photo superb
Nice shot!
I guess that's how it works but what a great riposte "we are independently crazy" LOL love the muted and range of colours in the sheet metal you took here, beautiful capture !
The bearded collector has a bit of everything here...it would be easy to go back to Jerome and do this shoot all over again. I didn't even see this. Nicely done...and plenty of patterns and textures here too!
Wonderful texture and composition. Jerome was closed when we went here, years ago.
Extremely good for 'patterns and textures' Tara.
LOL I love your independently crazy attitude!. This shot has marvelous texture and color. A superb capture. Thanks for sharing your craziness. :)
Again, another great shot that many would not see. :-)
The textures are amazing, I'd love to see this in person, but in lieu of that, I'm thankful for your shots. Rick
You have patterns, structures, materials ... all there. I like the weathered wellplate at best!
Very cool capture I like you response! and I think it could apply to just about everyone here - in our own way
The coil is a perfect focal point & contrast with the linear pattern of the wall - a fine composition...
A really nice mix here. I especially like the patterns in the lower right part of the wall. I once knew an artist who did paintings that looked like this. And I add my approval of your response. Aren't we all?
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
Excellent photo.
So very enjoyable! I love the warmth of the light too.
Sounds like they are trying to learn things you already know. For many people unless they take a class in something they just don't go out and do anything. Nice shot!
Nice shadows and textures! M.
Love the write up! Pretty cool photo too. I know what that is on the wall, it's my childhood arch enemy.
Superb shot indeeed, Tara :)
very stylish texture, pattern and blue, blue sky! cool done and perfect clear!
I remember the old 'photo club' days - we would frequently have a field trip where we would concentrate on things like that - of course me being me.... I shot whatever the heck I thought would look halfway decent. Then I'd come home and process 5 rolls of 36-exposure film, and try to figure out which ones to spend hours in the darkroom printing. I DO love digital photography! :-D This is great, Tara! You have textures and patterns, as well as great contrasts with circles and vertical/horizontals. Brilliant!
Hmmph. You should have been TEACHING that class IMHO! This shot is exactly why, it's perfect!
Wow, it sure has 'patterns and textures'. What a shot. I never worry about 'patterns and textures'. I just aim and shoot! I don't want to sound redundant, but I am not surprised!
Very nice textures in this. this place seems a treasure trove of interesting things to look at.
Nice composition a a lovely warm play of light and shade.
