Keystone

We just got back from a weekend at the Keystone Ski Resort. Although I didn't ski, I had a fun time with the family and got lots of photos to share. I'll start with several random ones, but there are much better shots to come. First is the view off the deck of the condo in which we stayed.
I was amused at the unit number of the condo. One of my favorite rock bands is called Rush, and they've got a famous album called 2112. So, while it may not make sense to most of my readers, here's the door of our unit.
I liked the way the sunlight was playing on the cables of these lifts high up the mountain.
And finally, I found the following pedestrian tunnel under the highway interesting.
There's more to come, including jagged mountains and a sleigh ride. In the meantime, you never know what you'll see at My World Tuesday.

    I think it's wonderful that you took your camera and used your time so wisely while your family played with their skis. :) (Only kidding...but I would rather take photos myself.)

    I would do the same, take my camera and let someone else do the skiing. Great shots...

    Great subjects and lovely photos!

    I once met a Rush fan, and he looked at me as if I were magic when he learned my zip code 21122

    What a wonderful pedestrian tunnel, I think the most beautiful I've ever seen! With drawing mountains and trees.. and what a wonderful view in the end of the tunnel!! =)

    A doorsign, isn't it? Very lovely! An icon of your favourite mountains!

    Beautiful photos Al! :)
