Something totally different from the snow stuff I've sent. Drove to Historic Leadville, Colorado for lunch at Wild Bill's today and cruised around town shooting some of the historic architecture. All done with my 75 cron.

Woody, you expressed that I like to show when I photograph things like this....a time simpler, not so fast paced and pressured. I have been wanting to photograph around Leadville for some time and I must go back...it is so rich in history with lots of photographic opportunities. eleanor

Back in 1969 my wife and I moved to Colorado Springs for our first stint in Colorado. We both loved skiing but had no money. The only place we could remotely afford was a small ski area near Leadville called Cooper Hill. It's only claim to fame (other than being super cheap) was that it had been the site of Alpine training for WWII soldiers.

The photos brings back many wonderful memories of a time simpler.

Matt: Excellent color and visual draw in. You and the 21mm do sing along.

Eleanor: Brilliant set. Nostalgic. As memorable as the times it depicts. I guess I would have had to use the very back door. :D

Thanks folks for sharing.

On the road to the Chiricahua National Monument. Found out it's a 2 1/2 hr drive from my house to the Chiricahuas. This a more of a "do" area than a "see" in that while you can see some of the rock formations from the scenic drive you really have to take the time and walk/hike out to see the good stuff. I got here mid morning and will leave sometime Thursday (staying in Willcox which is 35 miles NW).








More to come.

Peter - I totally agree with you. I took a short 3 1/2 hr walk starting at Massai Point the kept on Ed Riggs trail then on to Inspiration Point Trail but didn't make it all the way as I was running out of water. Temps were in mid to lower 70's with some cloud coverage. The walk into the area around Toten Canyon was typical in that it was all down hill till I decided to call it quits and turned around. I start out tomorrow with the Heart of Rocks loop in mind.

Sandy & I were in the area early 2008 before we went to Alaska and stayed at Cochise Stronghold then. This entire area is much like visiting an old cliff dwelling in that you can't help but feel the presence of those who were here first.



This is the first trip I've taken carrying only the Leica M9 (okay I also have the IR but no MF). I knew I'd be walking/hiking for several miles at a time and wanted to travel as light as possible. I had my camera bag slung over my shoulder with the tri of lens, a spare battery and of course the M9; I also carried a monopod, water (not enough for what I wanted to do) as well as my sat phone (for just in case). Legs and knees ache however the shoulders feel fine which is what I expected from such a light load.

More tomorrow

Tried and (very)dirty so shower then early bed.

Don

Thanks Matt I'll post more tomorrow

Been a while since I've posted here. I've been spending a lot of time getting by blog working again after it crashed last Thursday. The fix involved moving to a new directory on my server so if you've been following it the link in your "favorites" may be broken. You can click on the link below my signature to get back to the blog and refresh your favorites if you wish.

I've also started posting to the Nikon forum: I bought a D700 with a fast 50mm to deal with very poor light situations - typically events.

Here is from Monday April 19. M9+35mm cron pre asph. v4, three frame stitch.
