A wonderland valley of snow clad mountains, Telluride
Mines were the attraction originally to bring people to these mountains. One still exists close to the end of Main Street in Telluride.
As we came back into the town, we got to see this wonderful herd of elk right next to the road!
Very little traffic that day!
So the crew was out painting the lines on the street.
As we returned down the mountain, we passed another old mine in the very small town of Rico.
Sorry, I didn't get out to read the sign.

Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.

I love the beautiful mountain views! The old mine looks cool.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a wonderful day!
The mountains were indeed beautiful. I’m used to living in the Appalachians, so these young Rockies were most enjoyable.
DeleteMountains and mines are a good combination of physical and human geography.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of human geography, always had a sense of natural geography.

ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, Spectacular mountain scenery! Despite the snow, I'd be tempted to visit this time of the year just to avoid crowds and have a bit more mountain solitude. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
