St. Elmo, Colorado located in the Collegate Range in North Central Colorado. South and East of Beuna Vista. I loved this old place but after we moved to the flatlands I learned that the south side of Main Street burned. Half of the town.

The sky was bald so I added clouds in PS, then there was the usual USM and levels.
With any luck I will get back up there this year and will have the time to work the opportunities there. I just aquired a Canon 20D and a quality 28 - 300mm macro zoom so I need to go back.

    St Elmo is a great place to visit. I spent two weeks last summer at the foot of Mt Princeton on the road in to St ELmo. My son and I rode motorcycles up there daily.

    I am sure you remember this welcome sign from the locals!! :D:D
    A real sky too.

    I did not get to Pitkin or
    I tried to get up to Hancock but the snows and a rapid melt off has washed the dirt out of the road and all there was left was bolders.

    That was too bad because there was a cabin on the flat up there....with what was left of a fence and the Red Massif of Entineers Peak in the background...if my memory serves me correctly. I have some slides of the place from the seventies. If I can find them I will scan them in and post one or two.

    We lived in the Denver Metro and lived in the mountians on weekends.
