This another view of Crystal Mill that I took on my recent trip to Colorado. This one is in HDR.
The Crystal Mill, or the Old Mill is an 1892 wooden powerhouse located on an outcrop above the Crystal River in Crystal, Colorado, United States. It is accessible from Marble, Colorado via 4x4. Although called a mill, it is more correctly denoted as a compressor station, which used a water turbine to drive an air compressor. The compressed air was then used to power other machinery or tools.
The mill was constructed in 1893 by George C. Eaton and B.S. Phillips, promoters of the Sheep Mountain Tunnel and Mining Company.[2] It was built as a power plant for the Sheep Mountain Tunnel.[2] Originally it had a horizontal waterwheel which generated compressed air for miners in the nearby silver mines.[2] It fell into disuse in 1917 when the Sheep Mountain Mine closed. The mill was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1985.[2];

Milestone today - 10 Million Views Not sure which photo, so I will choose this one as it is the lead image at the time the ticker went over the mark. Thanks to everyone for stopping by!
An interesting pic for the Flickr Friday theme fire. It looks like a couple of demons dancing in the fire. It's a good thing I don't do LSD. It would've made for a bad trip. It's still an interesting shot. #fire #FlickrFriday #demons #DancingInTheFire #CrystalSnowball #candle
Some colorful pertrified wood found along the Crystal Forest Trail in Petrified Wood National Park, Arizona.
The 0.8 mile loop trail takes you into the remains of an ancient forest, where some 225 million years ago, 200-foot tall conifers dominated a tropical lowland. Time, climate, and geologic forces buried the trees in layers of mud and volcanic ash, leaving enormous fossilized remains for visitors of the modern age.
The fossilized trees of the Crystal Forest have an unusually high concentration of additional crystals inside the trees themselves — small pockets where the trees have become filled with deposits that eventually turned into quartz and amethyst crystals.

"Crystal" is the second transformation of my basic origami-tessellation: 'Blueprint', I want to show you.
'Mosaic' was the first one.

Staying on the frozen theme I noticed the shape of a creature directly above the bokeh when I took a closer look, maybe I'm just hallucinating ??? Gotta stay off those meds :-)))

Still wandering through my hard drive clearing space. The Crystal Mill around Marble, CO, was on my bucket list quite a few years back. I had seen many photos of it in camera club competitions, so the SO and I made it one of the stops in our Fall Color loop. It's definitely NOT for the faint of heart - up a steep rough narrow mountain road. But it was a thrill to see it in person finally. So, this image a stack of 3 exposures.
"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it."
Quote ―John Burroughs
Just SOOC. The freezing rain gave this wonderful texture. ;-)
