the measure of time

Near Silverton, CO
Abandoned mines are everywhere in this area. Here, I was struck by the contrast between ruin (the building) and renewal (the fireweed). The miners are long gone, but perhaps their hopes live on in a beauty that could almost be considered timeless.

"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day."
2 Corinthians 4:16
