Colorado in Color
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!

And two lonesome clouds. How blue can the sky get? Nice color with the engine which brings out the reds in the grasses and soil. I think I'm diggin' this shot.
Hopefully in the place where I live will be used this very good kind of transportation..
Very cool. Leadville is in the history books.
Is it hard to breath up that high? MB
A massive engine, the blue of the sky is almost unbelievable...
Now that's a very cool train!
P.S. You are right, the buffalo shot was scanned from a film photo.
I don't know if my comment went thru, so I'll do an instant replay.
Ohhh weee! Check out that BLUE BLUE sky!!!
I wanna ride the train! Fun Fun! Yes Yes! =)
Ah, 10K feet up, you're closer to the sky... Don't know the first thing about trains, but this looks like a beaut.
I see I missed some good posts. I've seen Leadville a couple of times, but I don't remember it in good weather. The first visit, I don't remember at all. My great-grandparents were married there in 1881, and I remember seeing the marriage certificate, which was written in purple ink, if you can believe that! Thanks for the visit :)
Outstanding colors!
