This was from the Leadville train which takes you from Leadville, an old mining community and the highest town in the U.S., to Climax, up the mountain at almost 11,000 feet, a trip of about 13 miles.
Jacob, this really must have been a wonderful break for you!! The shot you've captured here is so mesmerizing! Colors are stunning! Awesome, truly awesome!!
The colors are beautiful! I love Leadville. We camped there a couple of years ago and since it is over 10,000 feet the temps still got down to freezing at night!
Great time of year to visit Colorado! Glad you enjoyed the Leadville video. In the first part was a photo of Gas Creek School; I attended this one room school for 2 years! Our farm was in the Nathrop area; if you noticed the river rafting company at Fisherman's Bridge .... that was part of our land. :)
Colorado in Color presents a series of photos, most of which were taken in September and November of 2010. Southwestern Colorado is featured, offering glimpses of the Great Sand Dunes, Gunnison, Leadville, the Royal Gorge, etc.
The photographs were taken primarily by myself and my wife, Lois Anne and are copyrighted by L & L Photography. All rights are reserved.
We have, as of February 2013, added our daughter, Denise Jelonek, a resident of Colorado, as a contributor to this blog. She is an excellent photographer and has many beautiful photographs to share.
Enjoy!

That is up pretty high. Are the cars on the train pressurized?
Aspen gold. MB
This is a spectacular scene. And a quality photo.

This takes my breath away. Do you suppose those lucky people who live near Aspens realize how fortunate they are?
I assume the golden trees are aspens, and they are gorgeous. Nice shot.
You took that through the window? Wow, great clear image! Wonderful yellows.
Stunning yellows! What a feast for the eye!
Ah...this makes my heart sing!
