We loaded lots and lots of stuff onto our trailer and headed up to Montrose where a company buys metal of all types
Bales it up and sends it….somewhere to be recycled into something else
I always find this yard fascinating. The amount of metal arriving and being baled is stunning.
Yet there is a symphony of work going on here
And amazing skill these operators of gigantic machines show
Here he is lifting off JUST the old air conditioner WITHOUT disturbing anything else on our trailer.—Amazing!
I stood outside (just like the men) and watched the movement of each and every piece of heavy equipment. My eyes and mind filled with awe!

Life on a Colorado Farm 
Reminds me of our town centre! Demolishing…rebuilding…blocking out the sunlight and any decent views…concrete city abounds alongside the giant cranes and steel…ever get the impression I don’t like this modernisation thing?!! 😅
