A couple of weeks ago I drove out to Weld County to shoot some of the many oil and gas drilling operations, wells and machinery that has sprung up across the front range. I was looking to create some iconic images that could be used to illustrate upcoming stories about the industry and issues surrounding it. I also wanted to include a piece of the geography that would link it to my coverage area. Enjoy.

Here are a few that caught my eye as I was culling through several hundred pictures this week. One thing is for sure, I really like a silhouette. Take a look. Enjoy.
