Going back in time today to a photograph I shot around Picher, Oklahoma, many years ago. It's always reminded me of Artax in the Swamp of Sadness from The Neverending Story. Picher, OK, is a ghost town and Superfund site due to mining lead and zinc which left excessive lead in the water and poisoned many children and ruined people's lives. Also the entire town is in danger of collapsing due to underground mine shafts. . . . . #picher #oklahoma #superfund #mining #ecologicaldisaster #landscape #landscapephotography #horse #whitehorse #dreams #protectourlands #thislandisyourland
