Butte is a miining town that looks like a mining town. As you drive past on I-90 you can easily see the old headframes dotting the hill. At least a dozen of them. When we first visited you couldn't get decent photos of any of them.That's gradually changing as they continue with the super fund clean up of the surrounding propery.
The photo today was a bit of luck. As we drove past this one the workers had opened the gate so I could get an unobstructed view. They gave me permission to take a few photographs before they closed it off again. This headframe still has the old winch house standing nearby. I think it makes for a lovely photograph.
