Another one from Anglesey. Parys Mountain was mined for copper ore in the early Bronze Age, as shown by sub-surface debris nearly 4,000 years old revealed during excavations in 2002. Since then access has been regained to the sealed underground workings of the Parys mine revealing further evidence for this ancient mining. Parys Mountain is thus one of the few sites in Britain where there is evidence for the prehistoric beginnings of the British metal mining industry. #parysmountain #anglesey #northwales #mining #amlwch #landscapephotography #amlwchcoppermine #coppermine #heritage #northwalestagram #northwales #angleseyisland #mininghistory #wales❤️ #heritagewalk #coppertrail #parysmountaincoppermine #outandaboutwithliz #historylovers #unusualplaces #obscuretourism (at Amlwch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEle06OsU02/?igshid=e960pqjxtxfl

Hoober Stand near Wentworth. The tower was constructed by Henry Flitcroft between 1746 and 1748 for the aristocrat Thomas Watson-Wentworth, Earl of Malton, to celebrate his role in suppressing the Jacobite uprising. #hooberstand #wentworth #unusual #history #unusualtouristattraction #weirdplaces #obscuretourism #gradeiilisted #grade2listed #architecture #tower #southyorkshire #england🇬🇧 #englishtourism #folly #hoober https://www.instagram.com/p/CAhwhjaAcTa/?igshid=1k8hkps3pujtw

Another picture from my California trip back in 2017. Sadly Elmer passed away in 2019, but I believe his son has now taken over and the ranch is still open. Elmer inherited his fathers bottle collection when he passed away. He did not want to get rid of them an so he decided to create trees made from the bottles. #elmersbottletreeranch #bottletree #bottletreeranch #orogrande #california #route66 #route66roadtrip #californiadreaming #californiaroadtrip #route66california #weirdamerica #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #usaroadtrip #usa🇺🇸 #americathebeautiful #odditiesandcuriosities #obscuretourism #obscure_of_our_world #americanoddities #america #travelusa #travelcalifornia #californiatourism #route66usa https://www.instagram.com/p/CAUhtmzFiq8/?igshid=5rg93y01rre
