I didn't feel like putting together a proper post for this week, so I'm just going to share a few random photos from my recent trip to Colorado (I wasn't traveling frivolously, lest you wonder. I was delivering Eldest Son to Boulder to start graduate school. I admit that while I was there I took the opportunity to do some backpacking, though!).

| One of the millions of Colorado trees killed by bark beetles. |

| Virga--rain shafts that never reach the ground (though some very soon after this made the ground very wet indeed). |

| Nevada sunset |

| More Nevada sunsets |
 |
| A bit of the burn area in Glenwood Canyon along I70 in Colorado. We were lucky that the freeway reopened a day before we headed back west. (Photo on my phone by Griffen Dempsey) |

| Train crossing the Bonneville Salt Flats |
I promised you random! I think that delivers :)

Great photos. It’s a wonderful country. Shame we humans mess it up!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! And right now, the consequences of climate change have huge fires burning in Colorado and California (plus, in too many cases, a bit of more localized human stupidity).
DeleteThanks! I enjoy taking a few kind of arty/abstract photos along with pretty scenery. And come to think of it, I should change the attribution on the photo of the fire area, because my son took that on my phone!
