Heavy snow at Ski Hesperus Ski Area, Navajo Trail, La Plata County, Colorado.
For the 2023-2024 snow season, snow-goers were disappointed in the seasonal (temporary) closure due to the gearbox failure in the lift's transmission.
This closure allowed me a unique perspective of an abundance of snow without any human in this landscape during the season.

This is a photograph of a vintage Chrysler dash, photographed through the passenger window. Notice the push-button controls for the AC/heater near center-right, AM radio is lower-right. To the left of the radio knob is the ignition key hole. This car has been outside most of it's 60-year life. Imagine what your 2020 car will look like in 2080 if it were outside the next 60 years. Will it last as well as this has? What will future generations be able to reflect upon if their cars don't last? Speaking of reflections, notice the reflections of the trees in the window (lower-half of the photograph).
Car: likely a 1964 Chrysler Newport sedan.
Junk yard, central Arkansas.
