Artist's Description
The picturesque Crystal Mill is one of the most photographed sites in Colorado. Its precarious perch on an outcropping of rock just above the Crystal River, framed by beautiful aspens and a backdrop of stunning mountains, gives it an undeniable visual appeal.

The mill, constructed in 1893, harnessed the river adjacent to the mill to power the air compressor housed inside.

About Ellen Heaverlo
When growing up my dad was my greatest inspiration in developing a love for photography. He loved the close up shots of flowers, beetles and just the little things that people overlook so often. I enjoy landscape and macro photography the most and wish I had more time to devote to the hunt for the perfect shot. So many places - so little time.

I love the wide open spaces of the western United States. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-25962301-3']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type =...

Ellen Heaverlo replied:
Thanks Tim! It's an interesting one lane rocky 4 wheel trail going there from Marble. The other choice is walking the 5.6 miles...
