monochrome madness: 2:21

Far away,

In a cleft between the crags

To be alone,

Careless of others’ eyes,

Sunk in thought-if only…

Monochrome Madness: 2-20

Alongside the path

Fresh water flows, and

In the willow’s shade

Just for a little while

Would I take my ease…

mountain cement…abandoned

Entering Laramie, WY from the south, we found ourselves drawn to a site of an abanoned factory…walking about with camera in hand, it was indeed a photographer’s dream.  Later, we learned that factory, Mountain Cement, was built in 1927 but eventually moved into a newer facility just north of the older buildings…

Currently, it seems to be an excellent site for those who enjoy the game of paint ball as well as for graffiti artists who express their creativity  with concrete canvases.

Come out to view

the truth of flowers blooming

in poverty.
