Elevation 6035 ft POTD 1-15-07


This is the view as you come into Colorado Springs...the place I live. I never get tired of this view and thank God everytime I see those mountains. I love living here. I love breathing the incredible air. I love adjusting my baking,to the high altitude directions. I love getting used to nose bleeds. I love black bears roaming around our backyard. I love seeing deer crossing the street in the double digits. I love that it snows heavy one day, and the next, melts due to the suns intensity. I love Olympic athletes train here due to the thin air. I love that I have to sleep with vaseline as my moisturizer. I love that you can sunburn in the middle of winter. I love how we can go from using our heater to air conditioner in one day. I love that our cars have pock marks due to the hail storms we have. I love how business casual means a nice pair of jeans and a down vest. I love that our backyard is Pikes Peak. I love my city!!! Taken out my car window, traveling down the highway-YIKES! Natural light, ISO 100. AV 4.5.
