Hello from Colorado

Hi,

Now in Denver, Co, without scope, but intending to visit the Planetarium and Observatory. We are staying with friends, who have a view out their back windows straight to the Rockies, like this

It's a beautiful area

Cheers

w00t!!!! My home state!!!

Damn-it.. now I'm home sick :(

You must be in the northern part of Denver, the peak to the right of your photo looks like Mt Meeker.

You can also see the "Flat Irons" of Boulder Colorado.

Gotta ask the question... is this a recent photo? That much snow in the middle of summer is a bit rare!

Hi,

No, I cheated, the only snow right now is on the high peaks :P but I will post a few I took when I get back home.

We are staying actually in Centennial, opposite Mt Evans, and just now watching a tremendous thunderstorm rage between us and the Front Range.

Yesterday we visited Boulder, the Pearl St Mall, and the University. Great beer !!

Cheers

I do like the rugged, mountainous landscapes of America - it's much more geologically interesting than Australia.

I woudn't go that far... I recently vacationed around Alice Springs and traveled around the Mereenie track (stayed at Mereenie Base Camp for a night as well). The McDonald ranges are great, as is Palm Valley. Uluru and Kata Tjuta were nice, but way too many tourists... :(

And the Henbury Craters and Gosses Bluff were great for us fanatics who like space!

OIC!
