Conclusions

Through my job I was lucky enough to be able to spend the better part of the summer living in what had been an abandoned geothermal power station. Deep within the mountains of New Mexico, hours from the nearest towns the station lay within a deep valley.

Throughout the mountain range were scattered the strange remains of the failed geothermal project. This once massive undertaking included a helicopter pad, its own drain system, geothermal wells and much more.

These mountains, home now to elk, bear, mountain lions, and myself for a time were far from the rest of society. The remains of the power station served both as objects of curiosity and a reminder of our global human fingerprint, extending into even the deepest wilderness.

I will likely never return to this place. I probably wouldn't want to. In my mind and pictures it cannot change as it most assuredly will deep in the mountains.
