Looking the other way from the same window, the "main street" corner where the red maples and park should go.
The BPOE is here along with Alyce's cafe, lotsa dirt, and the general store along with the Catholic Church steeple.
There may be some tumbleweed if we look closely.
Trains go through the heart of Walsenburg day and night.
