Abandoned Ghost Town Mining Queenstown South Island
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remnants of a once-thriving Chinese workers settlement at the Goldfields Mining Centre in Kawarau Gorge, Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand. The image transports us to a bygone era, where the exterior of this abandoned settlement stands as a testament to its past significance. The photograph showcases an outdoor scene that exudes both ruin and history. The dilapidated huts and contemporary mining architecture create a hauntingly beautiful contrast against the backdrop of the Pacific landscape. Jeremy Bright/Robert Harding's expert photography skills have perfectly captured the vertical composition and vibrant colors of this mesmerizing image. As we delve into the rich history behind this ghost town, we are reminded of the countless stories that unfolded within these walls. This settlement was once bustling with activity as Chinese workers sought their fortunes during New Zealand's gold rush period. Now left deserted, it serves as a poignant reminder of those who came before us. Travel enthusiasts will find themselves drawn to this unique travel destination on New Zealand's South Island. Its historical value combined with its picturesque surroundings make it an ideal spot for exploration and reflection. In conclusion, Jeremy Bright/Robert Harding's print encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also invites viewers to contemplate our shared human experience through architecture and history.
