A silver mining camp in a high valley south of Aspen. It only lasted a decade or so....established in 1880 and abandoned in 'the 1890's', when the silver boom died out. For a time it was also a stage station for the old Taylor Pass Toll Road, in the Sawatch Range of central Colorado. |

Sweet - I could easily see myself filling up a bunch of memory card in short order at that place. Looks perfect for B&W ad you had some great skies to work with. |

While i do not really do hand of man, I know you love it Barry. This is a good example, great conversion, and that sky really lends itself for the bw too. |

Hello Barry, a fine subject for conversions. It does have that old, 'yesterday' look. Good work. |

Like others have said, the details and processing on this one are super. All you need now is an old prospector to lean on the sides of one of these buildings. |

Have always enjoyed your work, Barry....but it seems you've really upped the ante over the last month. The last few have been simply GREAT, and this may be the best of the bunch. Great composition and just inspiring processing.....you just nailed the clouds in this one. |

Hi, Barry. An excellent shot to go b/w. I like it. Very nicely done. I think I was there around 25 years ago. It was in early October and there was snow on the ground. Wish I had my current gear with me back then. I remember it as being a pretty cool place to visit. |

This is a nice lineup of historic buildings. Good conversion. It makes me feel like I am on the street looking at them myself. |
