Description
Stumbled upon this cemetery in Terlingua, TX located on the doorstep of Big Bend National Park in West Texas. I was lucky to have my infrared camera on me while photographing this fascinating ghost town. Terlingua came into existence in 1903 when cinnabar (an ore containing mercury) was discovered nearby. A mine was built around the town. I wonder how many of the folks buried in this cemetery were poisoned by mercury?
