Crystal Mill

Considered one of the most iconic locations in Colorado, Crystal Mill is located along the Crystal River four miles down a bumpy 4x4 shelf road east of Marble Colorado. The mill compressed air for rock drills at nearby mines. After taking several late afternoon shots down low near the river, I climbed back up to a level spot to wait out the setting sun and the long shadows. Forty minutes after the sunset, I was able to capture the mill and the time-lapsed flowing water. It was dark, with the exposure at 8 seconds.
