Summer Vacation Pics 2: Colorado

A few pictures from time spent in Colorado:



The above shot is in front of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder; the buildings were designed by the famous Chinese architect I.M. Pei. The tour and facility have lots of interesting scientific information about weather and climate studies. (We also did a tour of the Celestial Seasonings tea factory in Boulder--cool tour--but forgot to take pics;(











The three pics above are from the Georgetown Loop Railroad, a restored narrow-gauge railroad (only a few miles long, west of Denver) that used to serve the (long-closed) silver mines in the area. We toured an abandoned silver mine, which was very interesting.
