There's a new public walking trail near Golden, Colorado, at the mouth of Clear Creek canyon. In a creative masterstroke of trail design, they've adapted a restored 150-year-old irrigation flume as part of the path. This is one of the best places to see old-growth Douglas Fir timbers in the rocky lowlands of Colorado. The wooden frameworks make for diverse scenic framing.

Great shot! I really like the colours and aspect.

Rich, warm colours and textures. I'm sure you could spend hours just shooting that with different angles and lenses.

I agree with the others. The colors and textures are outstanding. Nicely done!

The flume is the view. What a nice adaptation. As everyone has said colors and textures are a delight.

Good image of a good use put to what might otherwise be thought to be an old eyesore.
Angky.
