Judging by the size of the trees growing inside, the roof on the right side of this cabin I found northwest of Como, Colorado, must have failed soon after the site was abandoned, and yet the left side is still holding up pretty well. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

There are more lily flowers in this pond near Leadville, Colorado than I've ever seen in one place, but as is always the case, I couldn't get very close, so next time I'll probably have to consider getting wet. #colorado #scenery #flowers #photography

If this wheel was sitting in a pile of junk, or even still fastened to a farm tractor, I wouldn't have thought much of it, but because I found it in a valley near Central City, Colorado, I can't help but wonder if it's actually a wheel. #colorado #history #artifacts #photography

None of the trees around this powder house west of Central City, Colorado had likely even sprouted when it was abandoned. #colorado #ruins #history #photography

Snooping around in an old building would normally be a priority for Kali, but on this late spring day, while exploring the high mountains east of Breckenridge, Colorado, sliding around on a crusty snow bank was irresistible. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #scenery #history #ruins #photography

On my second visit to this cabin, which is on the western ridge of 14,265 foot Quandary Peak near Breckenridge, Colorado, I found that in the years since I had first been there, it had collapsed, leaving nothing but a pile of broken boards. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

When I first saw this cabin from the other side of the valley, which is west of Empire, Colorado, I decided to take a closer look on another day just as an excuse to hike there, and I ended up finding several mines and a half dozen other buildings in the trees. #colorado #ruins #history #photography

As much as I like the way the wind erodes old wood, the most interesting thing about this building I found south of Breckenridge, Colorado is that zigzag joint. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

The steep slope above Silver Plume, Colorado is one of my favorite places to explore, and this site in particular, because the lack of roads or trails anywhere nearby makes getting there a challenge. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

Other than the Pawnee Buttes, and the deep arroyos that snake away from them as if they were cracks formed when the buttes emerged from the ground, the grasslands east of Greeley, Colorado are almost featureless. #colorado #scenery #photography
