Graham Earnshaw, Mid-west American living (Travel (2019))

I am travelling with my partner through Colorado, US, mainly on a skiing trip, visiting several ski-fields in the State. Between each ski-area, we pass through some stunning landscape, beautiful mountains, canyons and rivers (some frozen over). But perhaps what is l leaving me with an even bigger impression is the amazingly stark countryside and way of living for many mid-western Americans, especially in the harshness of winter. I've have tried to convey this in these images, except one (the grand house on the hill, in the mining town of Leadville), to show the contrast of what having money can get you.
