A long exposure creates silken thread cascades in this waterfall in Colorado. If you look really close, you can see a rainbow in the capture. An old mining shack stands up to the elements and time as it proudly remembers a time when this was a bustling community.

Ashcroft, Co. Ten miles outside of Aspen, the town of Ashcroft was a booming silver mining community, but the harsh weather conditions eventually drove everybody to seek easier living conditions. #photography#abandoned #coloradohistory #b&wphotography #monochrome #miningtowns #forgottentowns #aspen

I took a photo of this page from a magazine created by the Denver Post in 1959. At one time Colorado was known for its carnations. I recall the fountains filled with them at Elitches when I was a kid. I recall their fragrance. #Colorado #ColoradoHistory #DenverPost #Carnations
A yellowed magazine ad touting carnations in Colorado. There are several pictures of people with carnations.

The 1914 Ludlow Massacre and the Ten Days' War became one of the deadliest labor conflicts in U.S. history. These events continue to shape how historians understand workers' rights, labor activism, and industrial America.

This image is from a book produced by the Denver Post in 1959 to commemorate the 100 yr anniversary of the Rush to the Rockies. My father worked at Martin Marietta & at our home in Littleton, the china in our cabinet was often rattled by tests at that facility. #ColoradoHistory

The morning fog would creep in, then creep back out. You can see it hiding in the background. This wooden path leads to a very large cemetery, my first adventure to a segregated cemetery. Different religions each had their section, as did ethnicities. Sadly, the town's single black person was buried outside the graveyard all by herself. How incredibly stupid!!!! The dead have no need for racism!! I fear we might just be headed to this same level of idiocy once again.
