Description
Happy Birthday my friend!
...Rod, you think you've got it all...a big job, a fine house, a loving wife, your own lair, a butt load of computers and more terabytes of storage than the law should allow...so, I was stumped for at least a minute and a half about what I could send you.
...well here it is. Your own gold mine in Victor, Colorado. It's a fixer-upper, but with the shop full of tools in your basement you ought to be able to have this baby up and running in no time.
...I'll give the Girls from TNA a call and see if they'll drop by to lend a hand. You never know 'til you ask;-)
Bill:)

Rod, do you remember the country singer and guitar picker, Jerry Reed? He sang a song that kinda goes with this...Here's a link for it.

...but you'll know right after you ask!
WOW! So much wonderful rusty things. I would go banana with my camera. Gorgeous :) People thought I was crazy yesterday. I took shots of a outdoor wall. It was a museum covered in rusty boards and it was awesome.
Awesome capture!
grand birthday gift, Bill
A very well composed image ! What a fantastic gift: a gold mine ! :~)
Wonderful shot Bill!!!!
Funny! Lucky man!
I love the shot Bill, fantastic and a great dedi.
Awesome scene & photo Bill...
What a stunning shot Bill. Again we don't really have much like this in the UK. A real reminder of yesteryear.
wonderful shot
Nice one Bill had no idea there were two of us!
Beautiful shot... cool colors and POV!
Great shot! I like the POV and contrasts of colors.
Very cool scene and great dedication love the link to Jerry Reed
Hehehe.... Sure Rod will fix this in no time! Such a cool image Bill and HB again to Rod!
I bet he's pleased, a lot of work ahead :o)
LOL!! MINE! MINE! It's all MINE! Muahahahaha.... Hey, a little paint, a bit of TLC, and with all the gold I'm sure to dig out of them thar' hills, this should make quite the party place! :-D I might even be able to afford that Boxx render farm I've been wanting for the Girls! LOL! This is just too cool, Bill! I could spend a few hours filling up flash cards here, myself! Great shot of this historic mine! Thank you so much, Bill! Now, where's my shovel..... lots of work to do... :-D
GREAT SHOT! FANTASTIC IMAGE!
Great capture Happy Birthday too Hugs Susan~
This is a super idea Bill...very cool image and place to explore! P.S. Rob arrives tonight!
A wonderful gift for Rod for his birthday and he will have such fun getting it up and running again. An excellent capture.
Just so cool! A beauty all its own. And, how much gold can be still hidden under the ground? Not to mention small bits missed in the rock piles outdoors? It looks like a small operation. When was it started? What is its history? It piques my curiosity! Keep up the good work! :-)
What a shot and what a gift! WOW! There is so much to see in this and I find that my eye just wanders around, finds a cool texture, a cool color, or an interesting shadow. This is most definitely a place to explore and even better that it's in a place called Victor!. I'll have to let a particular Russian know that there's a town named after him in Colorado. Of course I'll also have to explain where Colorado is and then answer a massive load of questions about the state. But anyway...what a shot! I love the POV as well, as it gives a great sense of scale. This rocks and I'm sure Rod can find really cool uses for it. I rather like the gantry structure on the left. I'm sure that can be modified for something interesting!
I was in Victor a few days ago.I could spend a week there and Cripple Creek.I wanted to take a picture of this but I was trying to find the road to Canon, but I gave up and went back through Colorado Springs
Oh wow I love the contrasting colors in this, beautiful work.
good honest rust
