While I’m still composing my thoughts after the storms of last week, I thought I might offer this gem.

Last spring when I was out in Colorado Springs, I did a bit more than work and take nature photos. While driving around the countryside there, I happened upon an empty and well secured ranch. From what I could determine, it was broken in three rentals based on the mail boxes on the main road. With the newest (junk) mail over a year old, I felt the place was a safe bet to explore.





Directly behind this ranch was an incredible view of Pikes Peak.




Garage (beware of ghosts)


Empty doghouse


Ventilation


From the looks of it, the owner started renovations and just gave up


Carpet in front of the house


I don’t think they meant to make the front porch into the ‘reading room’ though..


..but they left reading material for it..


This is the only interior shot I could get inside the main house (through a window)..

This kind of thing makes me realize how little of that town I really saw. I lived near the intersection of Chelton and Jet Wing, and that's where I stayed, when I wasn't going to Old Colorado City or Garden of the Gods with my dad. My aunt and uncle in Denver invited my boyfriend and me to visit this summer, but, unfortunately, my vacation time this year is spoken for. Maybe next year...

As a visitor to various places, I try to get out and find the beauty, character and out of the ordinary sites. Last spring and summer, I spent nearly 2 months there and fell in love with the area. This little gem is just another aspect of that local character.
