Phantom Canyon is one of three routes From which starts at canyon city area to victor Colorado. The other routes are High Park and Shelf road. All are part of the Gold belt Scenic and Historic Tour. In 1894 the route was first a railroad build to transport the gold ore from Victor to Florence Colorado. Today Phantom Canyon scenic road is one of Colorado’s hidden treasures and a photographers dream.
I just finished my first video slide show production and put it to music by Jimmy G’s song “Confrontación Española” a spanish flavor classical guitar and piano, which I think goes great with the location of Cozumel Mexico. I now present “Cozumel Mexico Above and Below the Water” in HD. So sit back enjoy and let me know what you think!

Hoodoos are a strange geological rock formation found mainly in Bryce Canyon National Park, Colorado and the Badlands of South Dakota. Their formation consist of different layers of hard and soft sedimentary rock. Generally the hard layers being on top, erosion of the softer layers of rock gives them their strange unusual chimney or mushroom shapes. The size of the Hoodoos in the gallery range from a couple feet to about 50 feet and are located in Woodman Valley Park in Colorado Springs. One of formations in the area is called the Dutch Wedding Rock, which is not accessable due to being on private land. Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park can be more than 100 feet tall.

If you live in Colorado and are a SCUBA diver, then Cozumel is the place for you. No Colorado cold water diving here. It’s less than 4 hours on a direct flight from Denver. Our resort of choice is the Iberostar Cozumel. In my opinion the Iberostar Cozumel is the best resort for divers. Most dive sites are between 5 to 10 minutes by boat. Dressel Divers is the on site dive operation. Both the resort and the dive operation have a very smooth running operation. This is our 7th trip to Cozumel and our 5th at the Iberostar Resort. The Resort has great food and friendly staff. With up to 200 feet visibility you cannot beat the diving in Cozumel to that of any other location in the Caribbean. This is an all-inclusive resort. All food, drinks and most activities are included, like 14′ Hobby Cat sail boats, sea kayaks, wind surfing and much more. The spa and diving are extra. Thanks to Mike Sánchez, our dive guide, for the great week of diving and thanks to all our other friends at Dressel Divers, Cozumel, a PADI 5 star dive operation. The underwater camera I use is the 8 MP Sea&Sea DX8000G . This camera is easy to operate and does a pretty good job even without an external flash. All the underwater photos in this gallery were shot with this camera and no external flash. For all land shots I use the Nikon D80.

The Maroon Bells, just outside of Aspen Colorado, are one of the most photographed group of mountains in Colorado. To get there from Aspen head west on Maroon Creek Road just south of town. The short drive up Maroon Creek Drive is worth the trip alone for its beauty, especially in the fall. At the end of the road park your vehicle and take a short walk to Maroon Lake. The views of the lake and the mountains are spectacular. A sight not to be missed. There’s plenty of hiking and fishing in the area along with wildlife viewing. In past trips we have seen deer, elk, beaver, blue heron, coyote, fox and all kinds of birds. Though we have not seen a bear ourselves, you may have the opportunity to see one. In the spring and summer the wildflowers are not to be missed as they cover the sides of the trails and fields.

The Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show on Saturday September 12 brought to Woodland Park Colorado by the Teller County Classic, Custom and Special Interest Car Club. The show featured over 200 Classic Cars, Hot Rods and Muscle Cars. This was an incredible car show. In the afternoon they went on the Poker Run to Cripple Creek Colorado. The car show continued on Sunday in Cripple Creek Colorado. Each photo in this Gallery starts off as 3 separate photographs at 3 different exposures and combined with a process called HDR or High Dynamic-Range photography. This allows one to see the detail in the shadows and highlights. It also has the ability to create some pretty cool special effects. Part 2 of the Car Show with more photos coming soon!

Aspen Colorado started out as a silver mining town in 1879. Today Aspen is the ski town of the rich and famous in the winter. But , in the summer, the rest of us can enjoy the beauty of the areas in and around Aspen. There’s camping and reasonable priced lodging at the many ski condos around Aspen and Snowmass Village. The photos in this gallery were shot around the back streets of Aspen with beautiful Victorian homes, cottages and gardens. So, don’t miss Aspen in the summer.
