The tiny Northern Colorado town of Gill may well have passed ‘sleepy’ and is now close to dead. There is a grain elevator, and scattered homes in various states of disrepair. This may have been a store front before surrendering to economics and time.
Wonderful! Maybe it was a saloon. Maybe a general store with barrels of dry goods and bolts of gingham and denim on the shelves. Women in long dresses and men in bib overalls patiently waiting their turn for their goods to be weighed and measured. Lovely shot, Mike!
I love your vivid imagination Cat. Bolts of gingham indeed.
Thank you.
*grins* You’re welcome
Well done!
Thank you very much Mona.
Looks like the place had two entrances or maybe one was the entrance door and the other was an exit one. Who knows…
That could have been, but as you say, who knows. Not I, grasshopper.
Maybe it was the undertaker’s….in one door and out the other in a box….actually I vote for Cat’s saloon idea. Happy Friday!
And a happy Friday to you as well. Have a weekend that creates memories
The cracks on the wall above the door and below the windows the way the door is peeling..
Mike there is a horror soundtrack playing in the background…what a lovely shot
Horror and lovely are close cousins, in this photo at least. Thank you Soma.
peel back the layers and find the truth
and be set free.
Great photo – still love the B/W best
Thanks!
My pleasure – did you have a chance to check my blog post from this morning – I especially thought of you when I hit “publish” – thought you’d get a hoot out of it…
Why would that post make you think of me?
Because you always seem to find the humor in things out there “somewhere” and I thought you’d find the humor in this as well!
Well your post is certainly out there
Yup…
Have a Fabulous Friday (correct use of the Fa sound). 
Another great shot – I want to walk round the back and see if I can get in!
You are a brave woman Lois! Thank you.
Well spotted. Great composition.
Thanks. Have a great weekend hutch.
I’ve been finding some great old, decrepit wooden, brick, and clay structures just like yours but they never look as good. Well, maybe good is the wrong word. Photogenic? So I don’t post them. Another great shot!
But Paul you will always have that photo of the wild horses that I will never get close to capturing, and it is far and away better than anything I will ever do.
And thank you sir.
Aw gee, I’m blushing! Thank you. You made me smile.
Its the straight up truth.
Thanks again!
Mike,
An award winner!
Sincerely
Todd
Thanks Todd.
