Last September I journeyed over Pennock Pass on the way to Pingree Park in the northern Colorado Rocky Mountains. On the way is this abandoned mountain cabin. I had been here before and wanted to come back and get more shots. One of my earlier photographs, Natures Return, was taken here in 2006. The stark contrast between the cabin ruins and the beautiful mountain forest is evident. I am not sure whether I look at this as spoiled wilderness or as nature's amazing ability to reclaim. How do you see it? Which photo speaks to you?

They Left
There is a stark contrast between an abandoned mountain cabin in ruins and the green aspen forest that surrounds it. The desolation begs one to wonder why they left their remote mountain paradise. Northern Colorado Rocky Mountains

As always, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts about editorial, photography, and anything in between in my comments here or on my Facebook Page and Twitter Feed.
Wow, what beautiful images, a little sad too, in a way. I see them as nature's ability to reclaim. It just seems that no matter what is inflicted upon Nature, in the slightest pause, she makes her move to reclaim and restore.
ReplyDeleteHey sweetie, I just didn't want to let this day go by without wishin' you and your family a very blessed and beautiful Thanksgiving Day.
ReplyDeleteI truly adore these old buildings. So much beauty to be seen. We have an old homestead on our property that really needs to be dozed but it is filled with character! {{{SIGH}}}}!
God bless your bounty and have a great day celebratin' tomorrow!!!
BTW:If ya get a chance...giveaway...my place...ya'll come!!! Woohoo!!!! :o)
Joanne, I agree with you. I see them as a process of nature's reclaiming. Somehow I find solace that we (humans) are impermanent and nature will be here long after. Thanks for your lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteNezzy, Thank you so much for your lovely Thanksgiving Day greeting! I hope you have a wonderful day with your loved ones. So glad you enjoyed the old cabin shots too.
Interesting captures, Julie!
