One of the many "Ice Castles" displayed in Cripple Creek, CO. Feb. 2026. Search "Ice Castles" for information. It was a colorful, interesting time! And, sunset was the right time of day to get this image.
Winter needn't be "grey & dull". This rusty old barn east of Gunnison on a sunny day proves my point. I like the rusty red/orange contrasting with a blue sky.
"Room with No View". If the clouds cleared off, out the window you could see Mt. Wilson! This is one of the buildings still standing in the Alta, CO ghost town. We waited longer & the clouds lifted somewhat. This was on my bucket list and our 4Runner, in 4-wheel drive, successfully made the trek.
I'll call this one "Room with a View". Alta, CO ghost town.
Good combo with snow on Sneffels and golden aspens below
Snow doesn't halt the current of the Arkansas River in Canon City, CO. This was a late season snowstorm around Memorial Day! Care to take a dip?
A wider view of the prior image, taken with a great backdrop of Colorado's Sangre De Cristo mountains.
Standing tall in Colorado after a brief snow. Notice how the wind blew the snow on just one side of this tree. Makes it look like a painting to me. Sadly, this tree was later cut down.
A few years ago, a fire scorched the Royal Gorge Bridge area in Colorado. This tree reminds me of the devastation. However, I like the tree's determination to remain standing.
