Today’s post is a particularly old photograph of mine–so old, in fact, that you’ll have to pardon the fact that it was taken before I owned a DSLR. I happened upon it the other night, and it was so lovely that I just couldn’t resist processing and posting it.
Above Bridal Veil Falls, in the box canyon cliffs surrounding Telluride, CO, is this building. At first, it looks to be a lonely house, but the truth is far more fascinating: it is the second AC hydroelectric power station in the United States. The facility was restored in the 1980’s, and still provides 1/4 of the power to the little town of Telluride in the distance.

Gorgeous photograph–The American landscape is dotted with mysterious utilitarian structures whose purpose is anyone’s guess. This one is particularly picturesque!
I miss Colorado so much! I use to live in Colorado Springs, Colorado and it was the most beautiful and peaceful place I had ever lived! I was 15 minutes from all of the amazing attractions like Seven Falls, GoldCamp Road, Cave of the Winds, Helen Hunt Falls, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Manitou Springs, ohh I could go on and on! I am absolutely thrilled that I may get to go back home in January for another couple of years!!! Great shot! You definitely did it justice!! Love it!!
Thanks! I’m glad you approve. The week I visited feels almost unreal. (Though that might have been the elevation!)
