Winter Fire
A flight to Denver Colorado, a 5 hour drive to Togwotee Mountain Pass, USA at an altitude of 9767ft made for some spectacular scenary, but also made for the worst altitude sickness EVER. One by one our party fell ill, only I remained standing. I went out on Christmas Day, took various shots including this one from the car, I also took a video diary of the trip for everyone in bed. I should really dig it out as I remember they wern’t happy with my jolly commentary. Only after I got stuck in the snow did I begin to feel exceptionally ill. The trip was immediately cut short. I missed out on the Devils Tower Wyoming and Mount Rushmore. Dammit.

Just almost black and white…very lovely, but I hope it wasn’t really a fire!
p.s. Mt. Rushmore is highly overrated.

No but there have been a few from what I had seen from the area. Still want to go though, it’s one of the thing on the list. Many thanks for your lovely comment, Best regards Redtree.
