These? My folks brought me back this little vial of gold flakes from an Alaskan cruise a few year back, and I can't quite recall where this somewhat tarnished silver dollar came from.

Memories from the 1800s . . .
. . . silver and gold! Although these little souvenirs didn't actually come from the mining days, they bring to mind stories of eager prospectors, racing up the mountains with their equipment-laden burros, hoping to strike it rich.

Val, Nice still life setup, good lighting. I like the picture a lot.
ReplyDeleteHow cool for the theme! I love the composition of the image, the set up makes it really interesting! Do you have some gold to share with everyone?? :)
ReplyDeleteSuperb take for this theme and the story is a help although truth got in the way of a really good story, I would have told how I mucked that gold myself and the coin was one passed down from my Maternal great grandfather and was his last money just before he passed away. You've read my stuff you know what I mean. You may use these ideas and reissue the post if you like.

Great composition and story. Nice lighbox too!!
ReplyDeletePretty set up here. I got to get a lightbox built!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the theme & a lovely photo! I like the way the light glimmers off the jar of gold! Super!
ReplyDeleteWith the price of gold what it is nowadays, you might be rich. The image is rich in color anyway. I need a lightbox, too.
ReplyDeleteThe gold really shines, Val. I am jealous of your lightbox set-up.
ReplyDeleteNice shot and good take on the theme.
ReplyDeleteYou've set and shot this wonderfully.
