Country Rust - Old Rusty Barn Doors

It was our first day driving.  We started out from northern Colorado and headed south on our way to Sedona, Arizona. We had packed our cooler with tasty munchies and just gone over Raton Pass into New Mexico.  It was time to satisfy our hunger and take a break when we saw a dirt road heading off the highway.  So of course being the adventurers we are we turned off to explore and search for a shady spot for lunch. We did not find that shade, but we did find this abandoned old barn with a set of three rusty metal doors. Who could resist!

Exploring Independence, Colorado - Raven's Roost

Exploring Independence, Colorado was a fun day of discovery. This old ghost town was originally established after gold was struck nearby on July 4, 1879, hence the name Independence. Most of the cabin ruins were only one room cabins, but this cabin had two rooms making an interesting crooked collection of doorways leading to a scenic view. Do you see why I came up with the title, Raven's Roost?  Hope you like it!

Thank you kindly for your shares and comments.

A rustic abandoned log cabin with three crooked doorways leads the eye to a scenic mountain view. But wait. I think a raven has decided to move in! This photograph is a perfect way to add a touch of rustic charm to your home, office, or bedroom decor.

Cabin Ruins in the Colorado Rocky Mountains

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
