Weathered

We had quite a bit of rain during our Colorado road trip. Instead of running for cover, though, I continue to shoot because the light can be great! If you look back at my Snowshoe Hare post, you’ll notice the hares are wet and the flower colors are popping. In this image, I think the rain adds to the story of how much this area has deteriorated.

Alta Mining Camp

We went back a second time to further explore the Alta Mining Camp and for more wildflowers. The camp covers a very large area with spectacular veiws and although the buildings are pretty run down, there is lots to shoot. I wish I could find more information but there’s almost none about the camp online. I’ll have to check out some history books. CLICK HERE for a link to some photos of Colorado Mines.
