The Colorado sky is an ever changing story. I love the soft fluffy clouds and how they dot the sky with interest and illusion.
Summertime in the High Country
Living in Colorado brings with it many special side benefits. One is the ability to hop in the car and in a short time be above the clouds! This photo of the Yampa Valley was taken from the top of the gondola at Steamboat.
Mostly Girls
In nearby Rocky Mountain National Park the Elk graze among the clouds.
Little Red School House
I found this wonderful scene just south of Leadville on Highway 24. I wonder how many kids learned to read and write here? My favorite part is the outhouse with the half-moon on the side.
Old Glory Decorates the Dome
As the morning sun rises casting golden light on the Golden Dome of the Capitol Building, Old Glory waves a salute!
Friends in High Places
A perspective seldom seen, except when makes the effort to walk the many steps up the Colorado State Capitol Dome.
BTW, a few years ago lightening struck one of those steeples.
I’ll bet it made a believer of anyone in the neighborhood!
Inside the Capitol Dome
Atop the Capitol Dome one cannot help be impressed the beautiful craftsmanship of construction, the fine details of work and of course the astounding view of the Front Range (Rocky Mountains).
The general public is welcome to take a tour of the Dome. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes; the stair climbing at over 5280 feet of elevation is tough and the air is mighty rare.
Elegance in Politics
The Colorado Capitol Building is no doubt an elegant center of power where the politicians of the state come to battle things out.
I didn’t meet any politicians today, but the other personnel present were very friendly and nice. It must be a great place to work, because they certainly had pride in their jobs.
3rd Floor View
This week I enjoyed strolling around the Colorado Capitol Building on the inside. This photo was taken from the 3rd floor looking across the huge atrium. The railings are shiny gold as are much of the trim on the walls and ceiling.
