Crystal Mill/Pumphouse (toned B&W) - Still experimenting with B&W conversion in preparation for the workshop I'll be taking with George DeWolfe later in May at the Santa Fe Workshops. This is a shot of the famous Crystal Mill/Pumphouse, east of Marble, Colorado, and taken during our fall color tour last year. The primary purpose of this structure was to provide fresh air to the nearby gold and silver mines. It's rather difficult to get to, either requiring a 5 mile hike along a very rocky road, or a high clearance 4WD vehicle. The scenery, though, is well worth the effort! This B&W conversion was slightly toned to give it a antique "feel". Settings: ISO 800, Shutter 1/10 second at f11 (tripod-mounted).

I just love this pix! I am just in awe of it. Oh what stories it could tell if it could speak to us.
