Bottle House

OK, one more last one from DV and then back to Chicago. You know, until the next trip (Aspen, squee!). This was at a really cool place just East of the valley that I've never been before. Rhyolite was a mining boom town that had an estimated population of 5,000 in 1907. You can get a sense of the scale of the town by how spread out the sparse ruins are, but this building is one of the few that remains almost completely intact.

Wow, dat's a pretty good pitcher dere, you betcha. A very different take on the look of the place. I like the undulating lines of bottles.
