Horsetooth Reservoir at Sunset

A setting sun over Horsetooth Reservoir in Colorado. Taken during the spring of 2009. The clouds are very dramatic here especially during sun rises and sunsets.

Another Angle of Bear Lake

Another picture of Bear Lake of Rocky Mountain National Park. Quite the enjoyable place. We stuck our feet in the water and it really feels as good as it looks. Cool but refreshing. Unfortunately, swimming is prohibited.

Inside the Colorado Capitol Dome

This is a view of the dome of the Colorado capitol building from the inside taken at the base of the main stairwell. As you progress upward through the floors you can see more of the detail of the dome. If you look closely there are round stained glass portraits of people important to Colorado history.

Unfortunately, we were unable to take the tour of the dome itself. There happened to be a lot of school groups that kept the guides busy. Next time I would like to get up into the dome and check out the view of the city from there.

All told, it is a really neat building constructed by the Masons in the late 1800's. On the first floor the walls and columns are decorated with the only known Rose Onyx in the entire world. It was mined up in the Rockies.

Colorado Courthouse

Yesterday Jenny and I visited the Colorado state capitol building. While we were there we saw the courthouse. It is a grand building very classic in nature.
