Dredge-scape

"A gold dredge is a placer mining machine that extracts gold from sand, gravel, and dirt using water and mechanical methods leaving a wake of environmental destruction behind. The original gold dredges were large, multi-story machines built in the first half of the 1900s."

"I love Colorado. I love the weather, being at the headwaters, the landscape, even the areas scared by mining. It's all apart of it, the good and the bad. Colorado."
