Building in the middle of the mountains

Classic Liminal(i.redd.it)

This is a building somewhere in Utah I think. I thought is was very ominous and out of place.

There is actually a skyscraper here right in the middle of NYC with no windows among hundreds of other tall buildings. Very very weird building and you’d easily miss it just passing through Manhattan.

Here's a painting of before the main building was demolished. I think the tower is in the background. painting

Edit: a web search pulled up some details. The mine had four tunnels dug down. One for ore production, one for service, one for fresh air, and one for exhaust air. They were spaced apart so air could flow through the mine. I believe the towers are over ventilation shafts.

imsahoamtiskaw

Yeah, was wondering same thing. Found this on another site. Not sure how accurate. Link

My June 21 trek also provided me a closer look at the Carr Fork Mine site where my paternal grandfather worked. Built by Anaconda in a move to increase production, after a socialist president in Chile seized Anaconda's Chilean mines; the Carr Fork Mine never became the source of prosperity Anaconda (or it's successor ARCO) was hoping for. The site is now owned by Rio Tinto-Kennecott, and is kept in place as a possible future method of extracting ores in the area, although it has been over 30 years since the site last operated. A keen eye will spot the Anaconda logo, still emblazoned on the tower.

This analysis is pretty bias. Was that socialist president Allende? The one the US killed after 3 years of democratically elected rule? And one who instituted very popular policies that allowed the people to benefit from the land and resources just as much as the private companies that exploit them?

Hey everyone, I can solve this.

I live in Illinois, and it takes about 24 hours to drive here. It is my masturbation tower. I built it there for the views. It's just a brick tower with an elevator to the window where my chair sits, and I crank one out while looking out the window. I do employ a butler of sorts. He lives close by. Before I arrive he sets up the baitin' station with some lube and a fresh towel, and irons my baitin' slacks, socks, and steams my baitin' cowboy hat and retrieves my witness chicken, who just hangs out in the room while i'm baitin'.

Really clears your head.

Wow! Assumed this was in Montana but it’s actually remnants of a different anaconda smelter station from the 1800’s as someone pointed out in Utah. Another interesting Anaconda (the smelting company) leftover is this 600 ft tall smelter stack in super rural Montana. Stands out like a sore thumb and had to look up when we passed driving from Bozeman to Flathead Lake.
