ruined

The scarred landscape of former Colorado mining towns. There are so many places in Colorado that look like this, that it's almost no big deal to come across sites such as this. Time will only tell when the landscape will be able to recover itself.
This was seen on the road to Animas Forks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animas_Forks,_Colorado

Love the contrasts, Mother Nature is all her beauty and strength and that tiny little "strong" truck. I believe Mother Nature will recover from us but we won't recover from us if we aren't careful.
