Title
Clear Creek (Ark). Flume on valley side
Photographer
Likely, Mark Jefferson
Description
A man sits on an abandoned flume found on the side of a mountain in Clear Creek Valley, Colorado. A flume is a man-made trough that directs water to a separate location from its starting point. Flumes were used to move materials with the assistance of the water and were popular for mining operations because they helped separate the desired minerals from the earth till. The landscape around the flume is mountainous and rocky. Pine trees cover the mountain face along with scrub bushes and grasses.
