Bisbee from Rt. 80Old Bisbee - Bisbee is an old mining town in the hills of SE Arizona. It is now re-inventing itself as a retirement community, art community and tourist destination. Old Bisbee; with its narrow, winding streets and compact buildings had the feel of a quaint, European village. The town was full of galleries, shops and artisan studios. There were a lot of metal works, owing to its past as a copper, silver and gold town.

The Inn at Castle RockStairways - there were so many weird and different stairways in this town, I had to devote and entire section to them. For kids, these make great get-a-ways when being chased by the cops. No donut muncher is gonna hang with a spry kid on these steps.

13'9", a good height. Got some disrepair in there too.
This rail overpass and the building with the car in front was near a HUGE open pit mine. There was a LOT of disrepair in that part of town.
