Here's a picture I snapped this past weekend along the Blue Mesa Reservoir, off US-50, west of Gunnison, CO. There's just something about the colors (or lack thereof) that makes it seem other-worldly.

All you need is for the pond to be iridescent green from molybdenum mining.

This is the last one I think from my Corsica trip. I guess I'll call it 'Curiosity'. My sister and I found this abandoned Genoese tower near the town of Ile Rousse.

Ouch. I've never heard of Blue Mesa Reservoir referred to as a "pond". It is Colorado's largest body of water, about 20 miles long and has 96 miles of shoreline. That ain't no pond, Ma!

Woops. I just went off the picture and missed the 'Reservoir' part in the description. As far as you can tell in the picture, it's small.

As far as the green water...I was referring to the molybdenum tailing ponds that are (or used to be) common in CO. See: http://www.science.mcmaster.ca/~pgs/images/Molybdenum_Mine_Climax.jpg

There is something that draws my interest to this photo. Can't quite peg it, for some would see just a snap shot. But am seeing something more.

I'm with you on that one. A "oh wow" escaped me as I scrolled down and saw it.

Nice work Mylstar

It has such a sense of 'unhabitedness' (if that is even a word!). Like a very undisturbed place
