Colorado
I had intended last week on doing a daily post, a la travel blogs, but an iffy internet connection, and the loads of fun I was having, conspired to prevent that. As such, I’m only making one post with some highlights from the trip, and a collection of what I think were the most memorable photos.
The first three photos are the view from outside my brother’s apartment, the next four are from a ski trip to Arapahoe Basin, and the final three are from Stranahan’s Distillery in Denver.
If you want to see more, you’ll have to find me on facebook and look at my photo albums.

- This is the view down from near the top of Arapahoe Basin. The lodge in the distance if half-way down the mountain. There is another drop that you cannot see below it.

- Stranahan's is distilled in a copper column still that looks like it's 150 years old...but it was custom made less than a decade ago.
-
- Some beer (I forget what kinds) and a shot of Stranahan's whiskey.

- Sampling some of Stranahan's fine product.
I'm an engineer by trade, and a photographer by hobby. In the fall of 2007, I bought my first digital SLR, a Nikon D40x, and haven't looked back yet. The majority of my photographic expeditions involve abandoned structures in Western Pennsylvania, but I'm never without my camera while on the road or at a Pirates game, and I have been known to take the occasional photo of a plant.
