Brick Graffiti- M.H. ’56; Al Malmsten ’44

This tree caught my eye. Note the bench swing near it. Portra 160.

Taken around 11,600 feet.

“Paint the fence,” they said, but I don’t feel like it… who cares, anyway.

Looking toward the Quenching Tower from the coal tower platform.

The aerial tram at the Mayflower Mill gives a sense of what the Gold Prince Mill in Animas Forks once looked like. Trams connected the mill to the mines around it without the need to negotiate trees, rivers, and rough terrain.

Enger Tower is an 75 foot stone structure built in 1939. It overlooks the elevators of Rice’s Point that are, for the most part, far older than it.

One thing I like to do at Gopher is imagine the shape of the planned buildings based on the partial structures.

A damaged roof channeled rain onto the adobe walls, cutting them in half. In the distance, a preserved house and the ruins of the Colmor School.

A quick vertical panorama taken on my back at the sweet spot of a great summer sunset. On the skylight is the torch-cut catwalk that used to link the outside of the smokestacks that vented the cupolas.
