This was such a different subject than the other images on roll #2 that I wanted to post it separately. Calm. Peace, Stillness………Taking a few days off for long awaited eye surgery. Update at the end of the week…….
There are many ‘Forts” in Colorado. But none of them were military outposts. Instead, these were fortified trading posts for Indigenous Peoples and early Trappers.
Fort Lupton has been completely reconstructed on a site adjacent to the original location. It was established in 1836 by Lancaster Lupton, a former soldier and West Point Graduate. Click on the link above for the details of the Founding of the Fort. He had passed through the area with the Dodge-Leavenworth Expedition in 1834.
Trading Gate, interior, the Natives were kept in this smaller area and never allowed into the main Fort.

Check out the History of Ft Collins, Ft Morgan, Bent’s Fort and there are more Forts, some even were military…………
I never did figure out exactly how this Door was used. Found it in an alley during a night time Denver Workshop……
Any ideas how this door was used?

Still figuring out the right distance for my RSS 6X9. I’ll retake these standing a bit closer. But it’s all about learning for My Inner Monet……..Read more about the Center Here.
Above and below, some very distant Doors……….We take our last look at Snow?
These image was actually from January 2020.

You know that I like interior spaces. I know that I photographed the main entrance…. when I find it I will post it!
