Keystone, Colorado

The last chance in 2006 to get out and take some pictures. I woke up early and decided to head out around Keystone’s River Run Village to get some pictures. It was cold, very cold at about 7 degrees, and I found a spot where the river goes up the bridge on the walk out to the gondola. There are some nice views with the river and the white-frosted trees with the mountains in the background. Also, there is a small wetland there and the water flows slowly and you can see the grass under the ice and there were these perfect little snowflake crystals on top of the ice. It’s funny to find this little micro-environment just steps away from where thousands of people walk each day, in a hurry to either get up or off the ski slopes, oblivious to the beauty of the environment around them. This just proves that there are wonderful photographic opportunities all around us, it’s just a matter of how you look at things. It was definitely a nice way to end the year off and look forward to more adventures in 2007.
