Pictures of this place appear elsewhere among my photographs here. An old, dead mine in Colorado -- what a delight for the lover of Americana. Which I am.

You can see the glacier herself, between the mountains. They don't seem tall, but they were taken at better than 10,000 feet already, I think. The vignetting from the lens hood was visible only when the lens was stopped down for the picture, so it was a darkroom surprise to me. Don't put a hood meant for a 35mm lens on a 24mm lens!

It was wonderfully cold, this day in January 1973, and bright, and beautiful. The kind of day when the snow squeaks beneath one's boots. I may love this picture because it takes me to that place and time.

Also at St. Mary's Glacier. If I'd been shooting a 4X5 with something like Panatomix-X, the detail would be richer, like frosting, but this will do.
