I’ve visited the Yankee Girl Mine many times in the past, yet I’ve never really taken a good photo of it. On Saturday evening I decided to head over that direction to try and finally take a good photo. Because of the wildfire near Mancos there was a lot of smoke in the air which was adding a bit of color to the sunlight. As I drove to the Red Mountain Mining District, I stopped along the highway and took this photo with my long lens before getting closer.
