The DarkFuse looks interesting enough to check out. Thank you.
Thanks for the links, and great pictures of the Stanley Hotel! I've been planning to write a post on the hotel this week, myself.
Love your pictures. Someone how snow is still beautiful even after this winter.
Beautiful mountains! I need some peaks.
Thanks for the links - my fingers are fiction itchy.
That place is really massive!
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous! Those pictures actually make me want to go build a snowman, but knowing my pathetically thinned Floridian blood, I'd dip one toe in and run for the heater. =)
Stunning photos! I hope you had a great time. :)
Snow is always so beautiful Shannon. Thanks for sending some my way to the desert. ;)
Hey Shannon!
Glad you got those pictures up. So, that's somewhere in Colorado. Rocky mountain HIGH, eh.
I see clouds like those. Although the ones I saw were like really psychedelic n'stuff!
Enjoy your weekend.
Gary :)
Lovely photo's and thanks again for the links - something I look forward to, always!
I keep meaning to write short stories, then get sidetracked.
We only live about 45 minutes from Estes Park but haven't been up there in a couple of years. That should be our first 2014 excursion (as soon as the park opens up).
My first novel was set in Estes Park! My hubby used to climb there all the time. Too cool!
And I love the links, Shannon. Thanks for compiling all of these! :)
Gorgeous photos. What a cool shot of those clouds!
Looks like a stunning landscape - hope you had a great time.
Cool links, the first one jumps out to me most. Might give it a go.
That's a beautiful hotel. Growing up in Oregon, I was always partial to Timberline Lodge.
