The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a narrow gauge heritage railroad located in the Rocky Mountains in Clear Creek County, Colorado, in the United States.
The railroad operates summer tourist trains between the communities of Georgetown and Silver Plume, a distance of 2 miles (3.2 km). The railroad route is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) long and ascends an elevation of 640 feet (195.1 m) through mountainous terrain along with trestles, cuts, fills, and a grand loop. (Wikipedia)

Georgetown Colorado.
Georgetown is a mining town in Colorado. It's not too far from Denver. Gold mines were used here as early as 1859 and a few years later silver was found. Before the 1893 silver boom collapse there were 10,000 people is this town, and area. Most of them then moved Denver.
The elevation is about 8500. The population now is about 1000. The main part of town is about one square mile. There is also a well known train tour through a loop here, but I did not take it.
There are plenty of old buildings and victorian houses, shops, restaurants and museums, churches and the old school house. The town still keeps it's old small town charm.
There were a couple movies filmed here, including one that shows the colonial post office. The movie with the PO was Phantoms in 1998. Any Which Way But Loose with Clint Eastwood had some parts filmed here. It was the scene with the showdown of Clint's character and the Black Widows motorcycle gang. Also a Christmas TV movie with John Denver was filmed here.
I took about a dozen photos and will post them. I'd like to go back one day in the morning. I had the sun on half of the town, leaving the other half shaded and dark.

The Georgetown Loop Railroad operates over a former Colorado & Southern narrow gauge line between Georgetown and Silver Plume, Colorado. It "loops" back over itself via the Devil's Gate Viaduct, which was rebuilt in 1984 (the original was in use from 1884 until 1939).
Locomotive No. 111 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Penn., in 1926 for the International Railways of Central America. It is very similar to the locomotives once used on the Georgetown Loop, although it is an oil burner (most C&S locomotives burned coal).
These images show books and current art exhibits at the Public Library in Georgetown, Central Texas. The photographs were taken with a vintage all manual Nikon 135 mm f2.8 AI-S prime manual lens as well as a very capable 28-105 mm f3.5-4.5 zoom auto focus (AF-D) lens.
Compared to places like Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, buildings in Georgetown seem to be decades older. It all seems to be right out of the fifties, which is fine for me because it gives the city a certain flair that both mentioned places lack.
In this picture, I love the odd colors of the Syarikat Boon Wah building.
DC's Georgetown boardwalk plays host to many, even in cold winter months. The Yellow caution tape only indicates an area of maintenance-- not tragedy. The Key Bridge Marriott reflecting in the water and the inbound aircraft to DCA are routine features of this wonderful venue.

Handling the Tough Times
How do you handle your tough times? When you are tired of trying, tired of forgiving, tired of hard weeks or hard-headed people—how do you manage your dark days? With a bottle of pills? Alcohol? A day at the spa? Many opt for such treatments. So many, in fact, we assume they reenergize the sad life. But do they? They may numb the pain, but do they remove it? We like sheep follow each other over the edge, falling headlong into bars, binges and beds. Is there a solution? Indeed there is.
Be quick to pray. Talk to Christ who invites. “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life” (Matthew 11:28-30). Jesus says, “I will show you how to take a real rest.” God who is never downcast, never tires of your down days! Just go to him!

It has been a long time since I had a chance to wander through downtown Georgetown, plus I couldn't say no to a beautiful day! The sun was shining, the weather though a little cold was still good. Plus the streets were nice and quiet.

Georgetown Steamplant is a historical landmark of Seattle. Saturday morning with Urban Sketchers Seattle! It was bright sunny day with cool breeze. Though spring in air! The Rainier view in the backdrop of concrete structure, noise of aircrafts, helicopters flying in the blue sky as well as contrail of aircrafts too. Inside the plant it was very cold and overwhelming view of pumps, valves and machines.
Located on the Sampit River, Harborwalk Marina is only a boardwalk away from Georgetown's Historic District, great food, shopping, etc. A safe harbor from bad weather and located in calm waters protected by an island on one side and the City of Georgetown's Harborwalk on the other, the Harborwalk Marina is close to numerous restaurants, laundromats, stores and shops.
