 The abandoned building on the hill above Estes Park.

32mm lens focal length

HDR Pro Efex of three exposures. Tripod mount. A better size here.

The ruins of a turn-of-the century historic cabin, built by Albert Birch, city editor for the Denver Post. Birch's home burned on the bitterly cold night of December 21, 1907. To reach the ruins, continue along the path crossing the bridge by city hall as it loops around to the north and gains altitude to the top of the Knoll. Here the landscape opens to montane meadows of ponderosa pine and short grass prairie which supports a community of Abert’s squirrels and Wyoming ground squirrels.
Before you know it you’re standing before the remains of a massive stone fireplace and turn-of-the-century stone masonry. The ruined walls frame a bird’s eye view of the village of Estes Park below. In the distance are stunning views of Longs Peak and Colorado’s Front Range Mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park.
