The Valley of Coal…
When I drive through the North Fork Valley, I sometimes get the feeling that the coal just spills from the walls around me and comes to rest in the little town of Somerset, Colorado. So when I saw some water pooled up in the adjoining roadway and dirt parking lot by the mine, I looked at it differently. I braced my hand on the pickup nearby and tilted my head upside down. What I saw was the coal covered “Valley” walls of the upside down street and the sunset light on the clouds. This is not the way I normally shoot, but I liked it…
