So I was going to my brothers in Lafayette, CO today...

I had to stop and snap a few pictures. It's a shame they just don't convey the presence the mountains have here. If you have never been here, you really should make it a point to come.

1. Which probably explains ...

the need to stop and snap the pictures.

Great pictures, BTW.

2. I loved that area.

The only thing more impressive was the folks I met - they loved the fact that I was on a motorcycle with Alaska plates! Great snaps - thanks for the memories!

3. I spent a summer in high school near Buena Vista working at a camp.

I will never, ever, ever forget it.

...and those mountains also explain the existence of Denver, a city founded on the ethos of "Oh fuck that shit," which was the sentiment of many Westward-moving settlers when they came to the end of the plains and were presented with the Flatirons. "Yeah, no, right here is good."

4. The mountains are indeed impressive.

If you'd like to see some others, go on to Flagstaff and view the San Francsico Peaks.

5. I spent a few days in Steamboat Springs, CO,

and the view out of our condo windows was sort of identical to your photos.

6. My g/f and I are going into those mountains, via Denver, in the spring and looking...

forward to it with much excitement.

Thank you for the pics, Ohio Joe, and safe travels to ya!

7. Well... If you plan on indulging...

Be sure to check out the rules:

Pretty much the same as alcohol but it's best to be up to date on them.

8. I moved here in 78 or 79

and that view NEVER gets old!!

Bright blue sky! Snow peaked mountains! 50 degrees in town!

9. It was a gorgeous day today in beautiful Colorado!

10. As a fourth generation Colorado native I remember when

those houses(sprawl) and that layer of haze wasn't there and that was open space. It made for a better picture. The Californication of Colorado is now complete.
