Horsetooth Reservoir Highway
I loved the winding s-curces around the various spillway crests on the east side of the Horsetooth Reservoir, near Fort Collins, in Colorado. 2010
Glorious Colorado Sky
Quite an amazing cloud formation, and an equally interesting set of rock formations in Mesa Verde. This was my first introduction to the American desert, and I've been fascinated ever since. 2010.

At 5,400 ft in elevation, I jogged bac up this hill to get to my car and I was absolutely knackered. Horsetooth Reservoir, Fort Collins, Colorado, 2010

Mesa Verde Canyon
It's no Grand Canyon, but these (more vegetated gorges) were interesting in their own right. Certainly wouldn't want to get stuck at the bottom. Mesa Verde, Colorado, 2010
Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings
Probably the most interesting of locations for these 12th century Puebla cliff dwellings. Deep in the heart of Mesa Verde, on the edge of the American desert in Colorado, 2010
Barren Wilderness
I think that there must've been some kind of wildfire here, as most of the trees were just ashen stumps. Made for a very barren and mysterious landscape. Mesa Verde, Colorado, 2010
Colorado Sunset
This was the last shot that I took as we defending down from the top of Mesa Verde and onto the plains below. Mesa Verde truly is the gateway to the desert. 2010
