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.

Most of the small ponds in the foothills near Allenspark, Colorado have lilies and frogs living in them, so finding only grass in this one makes me wonder if it will dry out soon.

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.

Pretty much any cabin that has been rotting away and sinking into the ground for a hundred years is going to have a low ceiling, but this one west of Georgetown, Colorado still has an intact door frame that was built both short and wide.

This rapidly deteriorating mine structure near Central City, Colorado has been shedding parts for so long that it's probably getting to the point where the failure of a single component could bring the whole thing down.

Every time I drove by this mine next to the highway in Frisco, Colorado, I vowed to stop and take a look next time, but it took fall colors and a hike over the top of the mountain behind it to actually do it.

I can't decide if this is a single flower or a lot of tiny flowers, but the same plant had five other stalks just like it, as did every other example that I found while hiking near Montezuma, Colorado.

Some part of my brain really doesn't like spiders, so it was a good thing that this one, which decided that my yard in Boulder, Colorado was a good place to spend the summer, wasn't very excitable, otherwise I probably would have dropped my camera.
