Bashor sky
I have been capturing venues on the "South Fork of the St.Vrain" and decided to make another foray along the ditch and the Bashor barn. It's course through pastures fairly amazes me and I have a lot of shooting yet to do. I have a wider capture that shows the meandering ditch. I drove around by Crane Hollow and stopped at Broley. Ron wasn't there but I have been trying to shoot the abandoned barn out west. The ditch was designed to flood and water large tracts of river bottom land. I headed out to do a survey of the ditch from Ron's knowing He runs across the roads in this territory and he doesn't care if I travel the area too. The temps were back up as was the humditty. Well, it looks as if my time is limited at this venue! Next time I need to figure on taking on more hydration or wait until later at the end of the summer. I personally found this to be a satisfying glimpse of our St.Vrain Valley before they riddled it with gravel holes and laid the land dead as BoCo un-open space.
The gravel companies buy up the rights to recover the gravel but I am not sure they bought the rights to lay the land barren and strip it otherwise of any production. I wonder what the price af gravel if it cost the price of returning the ground back to production. I expect that the meandering ditch waters little but pastures any more.
