After I walked across the street from the Inn to where I saw the dog speed limit sign and shot the boardwalk, I looked up and captured this. I particularly like the porch light setup. It probably won't set the deteriorated siding on fire. But I especially like the ornament above, on the shed. I guess it mimics the operation of the ubiquitous horseshoe. I discovered that I have to be ever more observant up here at Gold Hill or miss possible captures. I doubt that I have taken half of what I'd like to up here. It's my fault if something misses my eye at Gold Hill. It's nice to see that people of Gold Hill offer all the comforts for those who stroll the town while wearing heels, especially in inclement weather. As you can see, I find a lot that interests me. The board walk and the cabin capture of the old days.
This house and boardwalk was on the north side of Main Street across from the Inn It is probably not as old as many of the other houses but the shed needs help. I was starting down Main Street in Gold Hill and I was already running out of time and getting sprinkles on my third recent try. A "lode" of opportunities exist up and down Main but I have limited time until the next round of rain. I expect the historical designation is responsible for most of the ambiance. There is a mix of old log and milled lumber structure construction, and lumber milled to look like logs. That was a fad in the past. Often mills arrived at booming camps early. That and the mine timbers accounted for the lack of timber in photographs from early days.
I was just starting my third jet tour of Gold Hill, Colorado before the next imminent rain out. Gold Hill is a remnant of the oldest Colorado mining days and I caught sight of this shot of the intersection of Lickskillet Gulch Road and Horsfall Street at the main intersection. Horsfall becomes Main. To say Gold Hill tops a mountain ridge is accurate with the road east and west rise while Lickskillet, north, and Gold Run, south to Boulder, drop off the sides of the ridge. If I remember correctly, the Horsfall lode was perhaps the earliest strike in Gold Hill and was responsible for the earliest development. As Wiki puts it: Gold Hill is accessible from nearby Left Hand Canyon Road via Lick Skillet Road, the steepest county road in the United States. It IS safe in first gear IF you have good brakes. The NiWots were father and son Arapaho Indians. Phil [www.flickr.com/photos/boondocks/with/5371371329/] and I investigated what we thought was Gold Hill a few years back but it seems that we barely manage the project.
Gold Hill has lasted for decades through the original gold boom, the second gold boom, the silver boom and its 1893 demonetization and finally the return to reliance on gold and tungsten mining and processing. It has never completely died and is not accurately, a ghost town. It's history of transportation was a bit tortured considering one route was Lickskillet. I assume most transportation was to and from the Gold Hill Railway Station when the Switzerland Trail rails were laid west on its way to Ward. The steep sides of the canyon originally meant the road up from Boulder had to ascent the canyon. Old Gold Hill still lives on in this century-old mining camp. The narrow gauge route was never built from old Hill Station (see the map). It continued to cling to the foothills above Boulder.

When I first saw this shot it reminded me of Facebook's COO. (I DO NOT LIKE FACEBOOK!)
She wrote a book called "Lean In" which I haven't read yet, but her title REALLY irritates me. She urges women to basically work harder to get what they want........especially leadership positions.
Jeeze! If women Lean In any harder they are going to bury their nose in the manure!
Along with Lincoln who was visiting SG for a few days, I had the pleasure of meeting the super talented Joseph Lean along with Francis Tan, Roger Lim, and Gary Wang.
This is one of the real joys of being a Flickr member, meeting and interacting with other inspiring photographers both online and offline. For me, this is the outcome I always hoped for from social media, to gain more than just a quick critique of my shots, and to interact with these great photographers in real life and learn from them offline, not to mention make great new friends.

'Lean On Me' - Written and Performed by Bill Withers on his 1972 Album 'Still Bill'
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me
