Old New-Gate Prison & Copper Mine - Photograph

This is 1 of 3 posts of  photographs that I took at Old New-Gate Prison & Copper Mine in East Granby, CT during Connecticut Open House Day.

Part of the mine was closed off for touring due to one section being flooded, and another section having falling rocks in it (cave in). Those facts made me a little uneasy. Once we reached the bottom of the stairs, it was very cool, however, I quickly adapted to the temperature. Water was dripping from the rock ceiling, and unbeknown to me, a water droplet got on my camera lens at some point, which affected some of my later photos.

This site is allegedly haunted, which is one of the reasons I wanted to come here. I had also never been in a mine or a cave, so I wanted to experience that.

I've enjoyed the caves I've been in. A haunted cave would give me even more motivation :)

The last photo was great, but the first three I couldn't really tell what I was looking at. Still, very nicely done and I'm impressed you went in the mine shaft.

I went to a salt mine last year, but it is 600 ft below the earth's surface, so we took an elevator down.
