Ruined Cabin

Coming back to Colorado for this week's My World Tuesday post, here is another ruined cabin from a recent hike in the Monument area. I particularly liked the chimney, on which somebody had painted eyes.

Other than that, there's not much left.

This probably used to be a root cellar.

Of course, I had to look inside. It's being used as a shelter by a homeless person.

And of course, because of the last photo, I have to link this to Guest Heart Thursday as well!

Lokrum

Here's my last photo of the Dubrovnik area, this time the island of Lokrum, just off the coast of Dubrovnik. It's visible in last week's photo.

Grand Teton National Park Mountains

For this week's Scenic Sunday post, here are the last photos I have from the Grand Teton National Park. I believe one of these is Mount Moran.

Sky Watch Friday Outtakes

Here are some Skywatch Friday "outtakes", just like deleted scenes on a DVD. I was in a rush and didn't spend my time getting the exposures correct and clear, and the results were less than satisfying.

These may be the worst photos I've ever posted on my blog. I promise I'll find something better for next week.

Mirage Volcano (Las Vegas) & Snow

Following on from last week's My World Tuesday post, here are some photos of the volcano attraction in from of the Mirage as it erupts. It starts with fountains of water and colored lights.

Bursts of fire appear.

Fire jets play across the pond in front of the hotel, synchronized with music.

Fire runs down the waterfall.

And finally it all ends with one last explosion.

And, here's a bonus photo from my house on Thursday afternoon, after we got yet more snow. This is about as opposite to the following photos as I could think of!

Dubrovnik Harbor (2)

For the Sunday Scans meme, here's another slide of the Dubrovnik harbor.

I'll post more about the island in the background next week.

Yellowstone's Artist Point

The view at Artist Point in Yellowstone must not be missed. It's one of the best views I've ever seen anywhere, and neither words nor photographs can do it justice. But here's my attempt to show it, for the wonderful Scenic Sunday meme.
