Here are some more pictures from last week’s snowstorm (we’ve had one per week since the week before Christmas), complete with wallpaper sizes. My earlier post-blizzard wallpapers are here.

Why Mormons don’t need drugs

Because they build things like this.

According to this video’s description, this was built at a “millionaire’s home in Utah.” Hat tip to reddit. ..bruce..

Currently on the road…

…hope to be back home soon. And, apparently, there will be more snow waiting for me.  ..bruce.. (Dayton, Ohio)

Meanwhile, back at the ranch…

…we got another 4″ to 6″ of snow today:

The third snowstorm in as many weeks swept into Colorado on Friday, further hampering efforts to restore power to rural homes and rescue thousands of cattle stranded by last week’s blizzard.

And another storm is due in next Thursday/Friday — that will make four storms in as many weeks. Sigh.

Also, more Colorado blizzard pictures can be found at Princess Jami’s Castle. ..bruce..

More post-blizzard photos/wallpaper

[UPDATED 11/23/07] Note that I’ve now placed all my wallpaper photographs (including the ones below) on their own separate page on this blog (see the “Wallpaper” tab in the pages bar above).

[UPDATED 01/06/07] Since a lot of people appear to be linking to this post as well, I’ve copied the “Winter Sunset” photo and wallpapers to here.

[UPDATED 01/04/07] For those of you wondering, these photos are all taken on or in front of our property, in Parker, Colorado. While we’re a bit higher than Denver proper (6200 ft vs. 5280), we’re not up in the Rockies (which you see to the west and south in a few of the photographs); we’re actually southeast of Denver, about 7 miles outside of the C-470 beltway.

[UPDATED 01/04/07] I’ve added wallpaper versions of these photos; check for the links below each one.

Here are a few more of the photos that I’ve taken after the two blizzards (did I mention we’re due another 3″ to 8″ of snow tomorrow?), as well as the original Winter Sunset photo:

Winter sunset — full size (3008×2000, 2.4 MB), 1440×900, 1280×1024, 1024×768

Evening mists — full size (3008 x 2000, 2.1MB), 1440×900, 1280×1024, 1024×768

Moon over Pikes Peak — full size (3008×2000, JPG, 2.5MB), 1440×900, 1280×1024, 1024×768

Afterglow – full size (3008×2000, 2.7MB), 1440 x 900, 1280 x 1024, 1024 x 768

And since the ones above are all relatively dark, I thought I’d add some brighter photographs:

Still life — full size (3008×2000, JPG, 2.7MB), 1440×900, 1280×1024, 1024×768

Moonglow — full size (3008×2000, JPG, 2.6 MB), 1440×900, 1280×1024, 1024×768

That’s probably enough for now. ..bruce..
