If you haven’t seen it, this interview with the current record holder in the Leadville 100 ultra-marathon is interesting over all and ends on a hilarious note that ties in with the theme here

How David Roche Nearly Ran His Dick Off And Maybe Changed Ultrarunning In The Process | Defector
On Aug. 17, David Roche destroyed the course record at the Leadville Trail 100. The performance was, objectively, spectacular. Leadville is one of the iconic races in ultrarunning, a 100-mile beast th...

It probably won't be long before this steam engine firebox, and the splintered remains of the building that once housed it, are completely buried by rocks tumbling down the steep slopes northeast of Leadville, Colorado. #colorado #ruins #history #photography

Reading "Guide To Getting It On" by Paul Joannides and not only is the writing fantastic, but the wit of this ending line has ruined me. I've been quoting it all day
Screen grab of a section from the book "Guide To Getting It on". It reads: Dear Paul, Romance is that mushy stuff that fills Harlequin novels. It is an entirely feminine construct. Men only become romantic when sheer raw sex is assured. Every time I see those pathetic diamond commercials, I nearly throw up on my television. What I want to know is if any guy has ever been romantic without the possibility of sex hanging in the balance? Lonnie from Leadville Paul responds: Dear Lennie, Do you realize there is not a single solitary woman I the entire universe who would date you if she knew you submitted this question? Were you abused as a child? Does your own punishment cringe with fear whenever it sees your cynical hand approaching? (Text cuts off here)

A good photo tells a story ....

Meet Nettie M. (Nethery) Keirstead. What is her story? Why did she marry at age 16? What caused her death? I hope that her life was a happy one, but I have my doubts.

#photography #photograph #abandoned #cemetery #colorado #b&w #hope #history #dhephotos #pioneer
Information from FindAGrave.com Nettie Keirstead Born 1876 in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri, USA Died 4 Jun 1892 (aged 15–16), Park County, Colorado, USA Burial: Como Cemetery, Park County, Colorado, USA Nettie M. Nethery married Hazen W. Keirstead on 28 Feb 1892 in Webster, Park County, Colorado. She was the daughter of John Nethery, born 22 Jun 1826 in either Ireland or Scotland and died 14 Jun 1901 in the Hartman Sanatorium, Montrose County, Colorado, and Mary McLaren Nethery, born March 1829 in Glasgow, Scotland, and died 11 Dec 1901 in Leadville, Lake County, Colorado. Nettie had a twin sister, Minnie, and she was the younger sister of Sheriff Russell Nethery of Park County and later Elko County, Nevada. ------------- (A search for her husband showed the following. I am not sure this is the right person.)

A high-contrast black and white photo of a small, white gothic-style church with a high steeped roof and another steeped roof above the door. It has decorative trim below the roof, an arched window, and an arch above the door. The door is dark with white diamonds. The sky appears nearly black with no clouds

Had a great day hiking up near Leadville yesterday! Trying my hand at some landscape photography. Still learning what works for editing and composition, but I like the cinematic edits with grand sweeping views.

Way up in the highest elevation “city” in the US, the former mining town of Leadville, CO (10,600”) there is a serious Cuban restaurant named Buchi that serves incredible pan con lechon and cortadito.

(I grew up in SoFlo so I know a bit about good Cuban food)

If you are a fall person, there are few smells that hit as hard as the first wood-burning stove in the neighborhood of the season.

Was just walking in Leadville and it literally stopped me in my tracks.
