21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Silver Mill Ruins

Hiking to the Ruins I was hiking in a valley above a mining town from the 1800s. The ruins of this building were across the creek. I explored and found the roof to be gone, forest growing inside the building and beautiful windows and doorways.
