Might as well start a Monday off by day dreaming. My wife and I have longed to live in CO. We have camped and skied all over the state and always leave wanting more.
Today’s image is from our summer trip to Durango. I captured this amazing view from the California Gulch trail just outside of Silverton CO. We were offroading the whole day and just enjoying the scenery. Every turn on the trail opened up another gorgeous view of the San Juan mountains. Wouldn’t it be nice if your daily drive was through the Rocky Mountains.
Until next time…

Don’t mind me, I’m just gonna sit here and stare at this for a few hours while I think about nothing and everything.

Beautiful landscape Chris. Nicely composed too. I keep thinking Julie Andrews is going to come over the hill and sing The Sound Of Music!!

What a beautiful landscape Chris! I’m still laughing at Marc’s “Julie Andrew’s comment. Great comment!:)
Wow! I am just soooo jazzed that so many of us from the old dojo crowd are on some sort of amazing creative journey!
Lovely shot. Looks like it could be on the cover of a travel mag. Well done!
