3/20/16

Another more typical winter day.  Quite the frosty morning.  My Daffodils seem to be taking the cold OK.  Not sure about the Apricots.  Sigh.  Anyway, thinking warm, steamy thoughts.  This image comes from the Durango & Silverton Railroad in southwestern Colorado.  The D&S is a sister railroad to the Cumbres & Toltec in that it is part of the original Denver and Rio Grande Western line and it's remaining locomotives were divided between the 2 railroads.  The D&S runs through very picturesque scenery along the Los Animas river and I caught this image of the train as it very slowly headed onto the Highline high above the river.  The Highline was made famous in an image from William henry Jackson that I hope to re-create someday.  His was taken from down by the river.  I spotted a possible path when we were there but did not take the time to do it.
