From Mining Days Gone By
Following are some images from a semi-restored stamp mill, high in a mountain basin not far from my home.

Cabin Collection
It has been a while since I’ve posted the weathered little structures found along the way. I’ve been all wrapped up in shooting and then processing my fall foliage images! This set shows several photos that document the finds and record their existence. They’ve been patiently waiting to be shared. Evoking all kinds of questions I […]
