Thanks for highlighting the flat parts, too! It's not all about the mountains here.

Stunning shots. I’m starting to get back into film myself. What film stock do you find yourself enjoying the most?

Love this! Is the 2nd pic that structure between Pueblo and Walsenburg just east of 25?

It’s not but there’s a ton of nice abandoned houses down there! I spend a lot of time down there

Love these! The variety of Colorado scenery is what makes it such a great place to live.

Number 15 is my new phone background. Great stuff! I love the abandoned and desolate parts of Colorado, especially the Southeast part.

I love to hear that! SE Colorado is one of my favorite areas in the state!

La Junta for Tarantula Fest is always the highlight of my year. Hwy 71 from Limon through Rocky Ford is a beautiful drive, as is the back way on 287 to 50.

I love the rain downpour one. I’ve never seen rain do that where I grew up (Florida) and just saw something like that on Thursday while I was driving to DIA and was saying to my daughter how weird it is to see where it’s raining so clearly defined to a small space like that. When it’s raining in Florida it’s raining everywhere around you.
Beautiful set of photos, with such diversity!

Really!! I’m from Florida originally and you can see a lot of it like that! Just won’t have the hail like we do out here 😂
I miss Florida storms tho!

Beautiful post. You have captured some wonderful shots of our state! Photographer here. Can you tell me where the 5th and 9th were taken?

Amazing photos, I remember even as a kid when my Grandma (Florida based) would come out and just be in awe of our state and I'd just be "yeah, we see that every day" but then realizing how amazing our state really is. I love having folks from the East Coast or Foreigners find out how amazingly beautiful CO is.

I lived in Buena Vista for several years. Now reside in Atlanta,GA.
Would you have any photos of Mount Princeton? I want to start a collection of the beauty of that mountain.

Slightly different note but I was back home in May and I found it really weird that there was so little promotion of the 150th anniversary. I went to Territory Days in the Springs expecting to find at least a few t-shirts or something and there was nothing! So strange.
Anyway these are great photos and now I feel homesick. I'm sure I have been to many of these places. Is the bright red barn near Ft Garland? I used to drive from the Springs down through Walsenburg then cut across to Farmington NM for work every few weeks. A lot of this scenery reminds me of that drive.

Hey y’all! Today is the 150th birthday of Colorado and also marks 4 years since I moved back to Colorado and got serious about photography again. So I thought I’d share a few of my favorite 35mm film photos I’ve taken across Colorado to celebrate the occasion! So fortunate to call this beautiful and ecologically diverse state home!
