Terlingua graveyard in West Texas on the northern edge of Big Bend National Park.

The discovery of cinnabar, from which the metal mercury is extracted, in the mid-1880s brought miners to the Terlingua area, creating a city of 2,000 people. The only remnants of the mining days are a ghost town of the Chisos Mining Company and several nearby capped and abandoned mines. The population today is 78!

Terlingua features in Wim Wenders' movie Paris, Texas.

HFF everyone. Enjoy your Easter weekend.
