From a car show in Georgetown. It's kind of a monthly event and only lasts for a couple hours. Where as the cars were very cool and wide variety to look at, that is not my real interest. I am more interested in the gadgets and neat ornaments that you find on the car. So there are no pictures of the cars themselves. There are a couple of really old Harley's here as well.
Georgetown is the county seat of Clear Creek County. It started out as a mining camp. Established in 1859 during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush. Nicknamed the "Silver Queen of Colorado". The 2010 population was 1, 034 but in 1880 the population was 3, 294. Georgetown is situated on clear Creek with an elevation o 8, 530 feet above sea level. One of my favorite "Old West Towns".

This is a shot of the historic mining town of Georgetown Colorado. I took this shot from the mountain side at an elevation of 8700ft. I had an opportunity to trek through the town, and was blown away at the tremendous history this town has. I could have spent an entire day in Georgetown going in and out of the various shops, sampling the local cuisine, and - of course - photographing the historic town. I definitely need to return to Georgetown. It was snowing off and on during this day. In the distance you can see the snow whipping down the side of the mountain across the lake. The wind was so strong on this day that it blew over a semi-truck - really.
