For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone. . .
« on: July 10, 2014, 12:37:31 pm »

Abandoned church at Morley, Colorado, in Raton pass. On a trip to Albuquerque around 1968, I pulled off, snuck into the abandoned and demolished town and shot this. The church is completely gone now. Morley was a coal mining town built in 1906 and abandoned in 1956, when the mining company destroyed the town's buildings to avoid liability for curious drifters -- like me.

Russ, pardon me for saying so, but this is a tourist shot - it's the kind of thing you would shoot down in flames if somebody else submitted it.

You're right, Seamus. My defense is that it's historical. The whole thing is gone now. But, what the hey. It's still a tourist shot. Mea culpa.
