Up close and personal. POTD 1-19-07

Normally the cold does not keep me from getting out, but yesterday it kicked my butt! So...this is my town up close and personal and hey...you get the see more of it this way than if I went out and braved the cold...go figure! The city above is Denver, the one below, Pueblo. Isn't the State Farm Road Atlas is a good thing?

These were taken in natural light, ISO 200. Ap 3.2-5.6. 100mm macro lens. Defog, bumped curves, crop.

Love your map shots!

My family (me, hubby & 3 of our boys) drove from north Texas to the Breckenridge area in January of 2005. Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Denver... drove through them all! On our way back, we spent two days in Colorado Springs... just enjoying the area while we had the chance. It's on our list of "possible retirement spots".

Way to show us just where you're at! We drove through there on our way to DC school (almost 8 years ago) and my first thought was "this is where I wanna live". Well it obviously didn't happen, but I still remember how beautiful it as there.

Fabulous idea!! I may have to copy your idea for my XC RV trip we took last summer- a great way to "title" each place we stopped at.
