Respect to history...(Infrared study 1)
USA
Denver Colorado
The dominating and permanently snowcovered Aspen Rocky mountain peaks are not the only famous landmark of Colorado. A very picturesque and history loaded landscape of valleys, canyons, rivers, plateaus, forests and even deserts, had been for ages the native land of the legendary Cherokee indians and sites of many expeditions by bold adventurers seeking silver and gold. A considerable number of characteristic old "western" towns as those we saw plenty of times in western films are being preserved nicely with their old stations, roads saloons, hotels, banks, police stations and even prison cells, offering emotion and amusement to turists but most of all respect to a history and tradition that never should be forgotten.
In the photo is a beautifully preserved old station of one of those picturesque towns that strongly reminds film masterpieces such as "High Noon", "True Gritt" or " The searchers". Somewhat experimenting, probably wanting to...contribute a bit more to it's glamour, I decided to filter the monochrome conversion through infrared...
I would be glad and thankful for your opinion and criticism.
