"Old Crystal Mill"
By Stephen Oachs

Standing proud and tall high above Marble, Colorado, the Old Crystal Mill silently watches over the ghost town of Crystal. Once a thriving mining town, Crystal is now only a few scenic buildings that give us a glimpse into a century passed.

This Colorado icon is extremely remote, only accessible by high clearance four-wheel drive vehicles.

"Yep, this is pretty awesome Stephen! The composition is perfect of course and the motion of the falls is incredible! Wasn't this where you meet up with Jones and he gave you a lift back in his truck. I remember he had gotten the wrong directions first and ended up at the top of the mountain or something like that. I remember it was a funny story anyway :-) @Doug Solis: pretty sure this isn't HDR"
