This morning while driving my son to school, we decided to start teaching him some simple photography. Simple, because that is all I know. Here are some photos from outside our home and a few from within the neighborhood:

Beautiful, where do you live?

Now we know why you moved away from VA. Great pictures, amazing landscape.

I dwell in a little town just east of Boulder, Colorado.

Awesome pics, I cant wait to get back home!!!

Nice pics. It looks like a really nice, peacefull place.

Where are the neon lights, traffic signals, billboards, freeways, traffic and crap that I thought all cities had?

Oh yeah, why aren't there any trees?

They cut them down to build the houses.

So what do people do for a living in a town like that? Just wondering incase i decide to move there when im older

I have only been here a year and have noticed that you don't find any billboards. Traffic signals really only appear in the cities and downtown areas. Neon lights pretty much are nonexistant. There is traffic, and that is because there aren't any highways. Everything around my house is two lanes. The trees have never been here. You would not believe the cost of a baby maple tree two inches wide - $400. I love the small town boondock feel.

Nothing in the town itself. It is only three blocks long. Most folks living in my community are working in the tech industry, which is booming out here. I guess it is like every other suburb, all kinds of people doing all kinds of things. We just happen to be a very small town bordering Boulder and only 20 minutes north of Denver.

Here is the cool thing...If I get on I-25 only two miles from my home and drive south towards Denver, on a clear day, you can clearly see Pike's Peak. The interesting thing about that is that the peak is 86 miles away.

wow, those are awesome pictures, looks like an awesome area to live in, i wish Ma had views like that, all i get to see is a few sky scrapers, a GIANT basketball, lots of riced out cars and construction signs all day

Totally awesome man!!!!

What? No Wal-mart?? Just kidding. That's cool, if the pictures are that good I can only imagine how nice it must really be.

Enjoy!

That's correct. The Denver area was praire before development. There has never been as many trees in Denver as there are now. The reason for that is development. When houses go in, so do trees. I live south of off2 and my neighborhood was built in the late 50s. There are many large trees because they were all planted 40 some years ago.

BTW... twin peaks = Longs Peak and Mount Meeker

Very nice..

Terrific pics!

It must not be that little; you've got at least one housing development! Where I live there are no housing developments and we don't have any stop lights. Infact, the whole County is stop light free! Sweet pictures though. I especially like the second one of your X!
