I'm curious: What is a Headstand?
It looks like old mining equipment, and not anything I would expect in Florida.
Nice cloud.

It's from my catalog, Eric. Shot it one morning six years ago. It's Colorado gold mining territory, Vindicator Valley to be exact -- a valley named after the Vindicator mine. A headstand is the tower that stood above the hole in the ground and had pulleys that turned as the miners were lowered and raised.

Thanks, Russ.
I suspected it was from your Colorado mining days.
