Life Gone

I took a drive on Sunday afternoon to find the abandoned town of Gebo, Wyoming. What I didn't expect to find was a complete landscape devoid of any reminders that a thriving coal mining town once inhabited the area- there was nothing. It was a big humbling and eerie to think that 30 years ago, a few stragglers still lived in the area- now any trace of their existence is gone. I had taken photos on Saturday, while rock hunting with family, that focused on the echos of life- how interesting that I found the lack of echos the next day.

Patriotic Bridge

Thermopolis, Wyoming has it's fair share of gorgeous sites! I took pics of this bridge a few years ago and this year they changed the colors for the summer. Beautiful Red, White and Blue! 

The reflection on the water makes a flag and it couldn't be prettier. I also learned a lesson, I need to wear tennis shoes when I go on these nightly excursions- I ran across a four foot bull snake! Now I added the extremely blurry photo at the bottom (my camera battery was dying and wouldn't focus). He sure gave me a start! 

Narnia....in Wyoming

My boys and I really enjoy The Chronicles of Narnia and so today while driving through the Wind River Canyon outside Thermopolis, WY we wondered if we had entered Narnia during the White Witch's Reign!

Thermopolis, WY, Hot Springs State Park, Swinging Bridge

I took these pictures in Thermopolis, WY over by Hot Springs State Park! These images are SOOC- NO editing was involved in these. I must admit- I am VERY proud of these photos!!

This bridge celebrated it's 100 year anniversary this year! While the main parts of the bridge have been updated and remade over the years, the footings are original- dating back to 1917!

The Town of Thermopolis gave the bridge a nice string of lights to celebrate- I don't know how long they will be there but it sure does add a sense of wonder to the ole swinging bridge.

I hope you enjoy!
