High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

Climax Mine on a Snowy Gray Day


This is the Climax Mine atop a pass northeast of Leadville, Colorado. The mine is closed now due to the price of molybdenum, though there's a skeleton crew there. I came home that way a couple of weeks ago and saw this photo. I adjusted the color balance to leave it bluish, but not as much so as the camera made it look.

I have actually heard a rumor that they're gonna reopen the mine pretty soon. Love the pic.
