Colorado tourism, various


Three very different views: the extraordinary mosaic ceiling in the generally Florentine (apart from the Tiffany windows) atrium of the magnificent Equitable Building in downtown Denver;


the creek where we had a picnic lunch in Eldorado Springs State Park (and that Eldorado water that we buy in the supermarket in our own Eldorado?  We knew, obviously, that it didn't come from there ... but there were tankers in Eldorado Springs (a tiny hamlet southeast of Boulder, which has been a resort town from the early C20th, and which in 1910 had the biggest swimming pool in the US - still open today, it was then known as the Big Radium Springs, so who knows what a dip there might do to you?) taking water away from the artesian wells.


And this is the room from our room-with-a-big-balcony in Estes Park - trying to look like Switzerland, and doing a pretty reasonable facsimile in the dimming light.
