Well I did it, I survived the annual winter assault on my little town in the mountains. I think we have only about 1300 residents and I’m sure there were ten times that many visitors all battling for parking spots in the downtown casino district 🙁 This year however, I outsmarted them by driving down and parking at 9:00 a.m. and walking home and then back to work 🙂 I don’t mind walking, in the daytime… But I’m no fan of walking home in the dark after a long shift at work! I have yet to view the ice sculptures, I usually wait until the festival is all over, the people and tents long gone when all that remains are the lonely sculptures to prove that the event ever happened 🙂 The town continues to illuminate the sculptures at night until the springtime sun has removed all evidence of the long Rocky Mountain Winter.
Added a few more Winter Wonderland pictures to my stock sites while also prepping a few more images for a possible Youtube Video. While I’m at it, I might as well make a plug for my fledgling Youtube Channel! You’ve seen the pictures and read the blogs, now experience the Rocky Mountains of Colorado in High Definition Video! I only need 90 more subscribers to apply for a custom official S.W. Krull Imaging URL! Please hit the red subscribe button for the cause 🙂
As always these images and more are now available for purchase on my website as wall art on glossy metal or acrylic sheets, stretched canvas and traditional framing and matting! Tons of cool gift items are also available including coffee mugs, t-shirts, tech items such as phone cases and battery chargers and pillows and blankets all with a beautiful Rocky Mountain image fromS.W. Krull Imaging
I love your little town, so much so I’m envious of your living there. And I love your photography.
Thank you so much Kenneturner! It is a very special place!
Going to see the ice sculptures after the crowd leaves sound a bit like us during sand castle contests by Architects on the beach…only you fight cold while we swelter in heat and mosquitoes. (Be careful walking at night? The critters are hungry this time of year!)
We do have the occasional bear roaming the streets at night!
