Bagdad, Arizona USA




My destination on a recent trip out west was to a copper mine in Bagdad, Arizona. Bagdad is located in an extremely remote area, and is know as a company town, meaning most everything in town is owned and operated by the company that owns the copper mine.











 This copper rod sculpture greets visitors as they enter the town.












The figures are 10-1/2 ft (3.20m) and 8-1/2 ft (2.59m) in height. It is dedicated to the men and women mine workers of Bagdad.






I marvel at, and greatly admire, such creative and artistic talent.











I really enjoyed seeing this unique sculpture on a beautiful, sunny day in Arizona!
