Lost My Mate

Uploaded: April 19, 2012

Description

I found this old skate outside an abandoned Trail Station that was in such disrepair.
Out on the open prairie, it is subjected to all the elements. I couldn't find the mate anywhere.

One year ago today I posted my first photo at Better Photo. I have learned so much and made so many friends.
Thanks to all of you for making this happen and making me feel welcome.
