Striking Gold

A picture from the fall for the heck of it!
It's going to be several months before I can get back to this spot.

Super cool Craig! I guess it's never too early to think about fall....

And yeah, I can imagine this place would not be accessible during the winter.

I like the backlit golds and the patchy sunlight. Nice shot.

Lovely photo. I wonder what the story is behind the cabin. I always think about the lives lived at these places generations ago.

 

[Bob Denton]

This is great.

Thought provoking. Everything returns to the earth eventually, except current interplanetary spacecraft.

This one is at 10,000 feet. And I would guess it was either an early mountain man or some kind of hopeful miner, who probably didn't stay through more than one winter. Then probably taken over by cattle ranchers as a place to sleep after the original builder left or died. Could have been Butch Cassidy's summer hangout back when he was just a cowboy in the La Sals. I doubt it would have been a family of any kind. The La Sal's would be pretty small for a man on a horse. One thing I've learned is that cabins, or the remains of a cabin, are much more photogenic from the outside versus actually going in and exploring.. Where they rats and mice live...
