[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2582989, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]You are right. While many don't see it, any decent photographer can see the beauty in what others could call "desolate country." If they aren't photographers and they still see it, they need to be photographers. I'm cheating here a bit as the photo below is of part of the Cimarron National Grassland, located north of Elkhart, Kansas and just across the river. However, if you know where Elkhart is, you know it isn't very many miles from being in Colorado. We used to run cattle on the south side of the Cimarron River and in Colorado, and it is beautiful to ride that on a horse. North of Elkhart, one drives up the grade on the north side and there is a pullout leading up to an overlook on the west side of Highway 27. I went up there some years back and took photos because I finally caught that area with the Yucca in bloom. The very last photo, which won't be shown here, was the best with both Yucca in bloom and prickly pear cactus blooming in two different colors, right together. That photo now hangs in only three homes that I know of, including an 8"x10" in our RV. So, while this "technically" isn't a Colorado photo, it's close enough for me to count as one, because if one followed the river just a few miles west, it would have been.
