Messy Paint +RP

The last several weeks have been filled with everything but making pictures and the need for fresh air was just about overwhelming. Today presented a rare, brief opportunity to see new nearby scenery. Of course the timing in such circumstances inevitably presents challenges with light, but here is a stolen moment. I hate busy, messy images, and this one clearly violates the principle. Maybe it has a few redeeming qualities, like color and texture. Or, could just be evidence of a desperate need for the outdoors. This is the Paint Mines near Calhan, Colorado. The temperature was near freezing with a blustery wind. Couldn't feel my fingers by the time I got back to the truck, but it was great to be out and about.
