Colorado Part 3

Here is the final batch of Colorado pictures!  I'll go ahead and caption them rather than take up too much space here at the top.

Colorado, Summer 2010: Part 2

I. Love. Colorado.

I love the mountains, and the water, and the trees... such a gorgeous state.  Don't get me wrong, I love Arizona too, but Colorado is an absolutely beautiful place to visit.  There's such diversity too, from the snow-capped Rockies to the flat-topped red mesas in the southwest to the plains in the east.

Anyways, here are some macro photos I took in my adventures around the state (namely Mount Evans, Rocky Mountain National Park, downtown Denver, and Lookout Mountain).

Colorado, Summer 2010- Mount Evans

This summer, I got to go to Colorado for the better part of a week, and I got to see an exhibit at the Denver Art Museum about Tutankhamun's tomb and the New Kingdom pharaohs.  It was incredible.  Unfortunately, I won't be sharing pictures of that as no photography was allowed in the exhibit.

Anyways, what I wanted to share photos of was some photos I took of the breathtakingly beautiful Mount Evans... 14,264 feet above sea level lends itself to some amazing pictures!
