One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

It probably won't be long before this steam engine firebox, and the splintered remains of the building that once housed it, are completely buried by rocks tumbling down the steep slopes northeast of Leadville, Colorado. #colorado #ruins #history #photography

It's hard to believe there was ever enough water to turn this water wheel and power anything in the small stream north of Black Hawk, Colorado near where I found it, but the landscape has probably changed a lot since it was built. #colorado #artifacts #history #photography

While there is plenty of evidence that this miner's cabin has had visitors during the century since it was abandoned, its location high up on the side of a cliff near Montezuma, Colorado, has kept it safe from casual plunderers. #colorado #history #photography

My Father before WWII & his last time in uniform for a military funeral. In between the first and second photo he fought in WWII, 2 tours of Korea, & 2 tours of Viet Nam. He landed at Utah Beach & took part in maneuvers in Cuba long before the Bay of Pigs.
