Check out "Painted Mines Interpretive Park".
Just outside of Colorado Springs. Place is awesome and free.
Try to go at sunrise or sunset, the colors are much brighter when they are slightly shaded.
Never heard of it. Thanks, zenagain. I'll check that one out. And thanks for the late-day suggestion.

Crested Butte is a cute little town with great scenery.
Ahh, Crested Butte. Thanks, Stan. I have seen so many images of that area. Hoping to visit and get some "killer shots". Thanks, again

I would check with the NP cause they are over-crowded and are limiting the number of passes
Thanks, Ralph. Should I assume that your comment was about the Hanging Lake comment from Lens Cap regarding the paid permit required?

If you like to hike, Hanging Lake is beautiful (70 County Road 125, Glenwood Springs, CO 81601). At the lake great photography opportunities.
Thanks, Lens Cap. I missed Hanging Lake last time around and I'm afraid that Time has not been too kind to my legs. While I used to hike everywhere, at 70 and with "bad wheels", I fear that hike will have to be a missed opportunity for me. Bummer!

Durango-Silverton raliroad trip.
Mesa Verde
Thanks, "mac". We are traveling with another couple who are huge train fans. Hope to interest them in your suggestion. I have seen other "cliff dwellings" but Mesa Verde has been on my radar for some time. Maybe this time around.... Thanks again.

For shopping, be sure to stop in at The Twisted Sister. Lots of inexpensive leather goods. For a spectacular ride, Trail Ridge Road and Black Canyon of Gunnison.
Thanks, Eric. I remember Trail Ridge Rd from my previous visit and am looking forward to a repeat. Never been to The Black Canyon but have it listed on my "To do" list for this trip. Thanks again.
It's been a while so I thought I'd check with "Hog Nation" to see if anyone has suggestions of "favorite, don't miss" Locations for a mostly Front Range driving tour around Colorado during the second half of October. The "plan" is for 3 nights in Estes Park, 3 nights in Aspen, 2 nights in Grand Junction, a couple nights in Gunnison, and a couple nights in Colorado Springs. Did a similar trip a bit over a decade ago so any caveats, tips, flat-out warnings, etc would be greatly appreciated. I expect to miss the Aspens-on-show but a family wedding has pushed my plans later than I had hoped.

This photograph was exposed in the Centro section of Milano and processed and presented for the first time. Mendicants (beggars) are common in both Italy and the US. They appear throughout history. There are those who have a much more difficult path through life than most of us will ever have. It is important, for me, to maintain a sense of perspective.
An almost timeless, classic image.

The Quairang is a walking route around a mountainous region on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.
We gave up halfway due to it blowing a gale along with some very steep drops.
Still....it was definitely worth it...the views were stunning
Magical spot. Too bad you had to "short-hop" it.

There are images of the moon. There are images of the moon with Venus. There are images of the moon with Earthglow. But this image is special. Very well done.

A few shots to add to the millions already taken of this incredible place.
Your images are a good addition to the "millions already taken", alberio.

Visiting Moab there are so many beautiful places to see. Canyonlands though might be my favorite.
Very nice images. But picking a "favorite" shooting location around Moab? You would have to be much more decisive than I am. I can't even pick my favorite Cany143 image from there.

That looks like the rock I stood on atop Cadillac Mountain, Bar Harbor. I wanted to be the first person to see the sun rise on America just once so I slept in my car at the gate, foot of the mountain. They opened it around 5 a.m. and I drove to the parking lot at the top. There were about two dozen people on the mountain that morning, all gathered around where the people in your shot are standing. I clambered onto the top of (I think that boulder) and waited for the sun to come up.
I thought exactly the same thing, Mike. Kip made a nice image.
If there is anyplace that lends itself to "negative space" images, it's Big Sky Country. The challenge is to not make it look so lonely and isolated. Nice image, Tommy.
"The 17" will live on in history and lore forever along with it's favorite "Little Friend". Nice shots.
