Similar themes that I found were new, and aged structures.  For example the Yankee Boy mine in Ouray has a rustic old timey look, because it is old as dirt. Although these structures are old they are visually appealing in a different way than the newer structures around campus. The ones around Campus are a more modern and stable look.

Some artistic ramifications that I got from the pictures that I took in Ouray were a rustic aged look that I really enjoy. I have incorporated this in other pieces that I have created, with aged barn wood. From the fire hydrant picture I get the same aged feel from the original red paint showing through the yellow paint, although its not as old as the Yankee Boy Mine structure. The third picture that i learned from was there newer more modern rounded look of the basketball stadium. I don't find this stadium as appealing as the other aged ones although i can learn from the artistic shape.

Rob Bohlman is a steamboat artist that works with aged wood to create furniture. His beautiful carpentry captures the elegance of aged wood, he uses wood that resembles the wood that is used in the Yankee Boy Mine Structure.
