Peeling Doors

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!

Looks like the place had two entrances or maybe one was the entrance door and the other was an exit one. Who knows…

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!

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.
