Photo Albumprobably the best picture I've ever taken...Jun 26, '08 3:52 PM
for everyone
While we were in NM, we (my wife, cousin, and her husband) drove up to Silverton, CO to get away for a day. This waterfall runs down the side of the mountain about 2 miles from Silverton (as you enter headed north) and I snapped this picture on the way back.

Silverton is pretty cool. If you ever get a chance to head/down that way, you should do it. Just be warned, this was taken about 3 weeks ago, and yes, that is snow. It's chilly there too. Oh, and 95% of the residents of the town leave during fall and winter. They were just finally starting to all return when we were there. There is also the Durango-Silverton train you can go on. It's pretty cool. Kind of expensive these days though.

Very nice picture. Frame it and put it on the wall.

Looks like it was a beautiful spot. I miss road trips. Hopefully another year or so and I'll get back to that. Last road trip I took for fun was to Pennsylvania to see the movie Donnie Darko with my wife at a small local artsy movie theater. Last really good road trip was the dual year "way out west" adventures in 2000 and 2001.

The picture conveys the cold very well! I'm shivering just looking at it. (And it's 90F (32C) here today.)

Slick. The blue saturation makes the water look like its frozen. A neat effect. :)

they call them things "shadows". My poor little digicam can't handle too much light or too much dark. This was about as good as it got.

Damn it was cold in the shadow of that mountain...especially considering it was June.

That is a really good shot. Did you use a tripod or do anything special? Or did you just say 'kewl' and click the the button?

Sorry, I've been passing up softballs all week. Rev. Mike was particularly pathetic. I figured I had to swing for the fences to welcome you back.
