  It's comforting to realize that the San Juan mountains are still sparsely populated. This shot looks very much like the Colorado I grew up with in the '90s...

  Love the richness of the colors!

• Quick Prose said:

  Interesting that this photographer took so many pictures of this mine. It is really an ugly blotch on this beautiful area--unless you count the gold it produced. Now it's just part of the history. The colors in this photograph seem better preserved than the rest.

  interesting to see what it looked like when it was all new and shiny.

  Those items in question may be power transmission supports or part of an aerial tramway bringing ore to the mill.

• JessanneS said:

  I second the tramway concept. It would surprise me if those were electrical poles.

• Fedaykin311 said:

  Those are tram lines. No reason there would be power lines coming from that direction (up the mountain). You can see the line entering into the tram room atop the mill building.
