Goldfield Ghost Town
Arizona
When kept as a talisman, a horseshoe is said to bring good luck. Many believe that to hang it with the ends pointing upwards is good luck as it acts as a storage container of sorts for any good luck that happens to be floating by, whereas to hang it with the ends pointing down, is bad luck as all the good luck will fall out.
A stylized variation of the horseshoe is used for a popular throwing game, horseshoes.

I hope and wish that 2012 brings good luck to us all!
