Years ago I saw that there was a train ride in Southern Colorado going from one town to another and cutting through the San Juan Mountains. I made the decision to try to hit it while catching some Autumn colors in the region as well. This was one of the images I captured of the train going around a bend on it's travels.

A change of speed, a steam locomotive of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, seen at Durango depot. A great shame that this video got photobombed because the loco was in full steam and blowing its whistle hard. I rescued this still from the video; happy days, beautiful train.

The Durango marigold, also known as Tagetes patula or Dwarf Anemone French Marigold, is an annual flowering plant that's native to Mexico and Guatemala. It's a member of the French marigold family, which has smaller blooms and is shorter than African marigolds. The Durango marigold series has large, anemone-type flowers that can be 2–2.5 inches in size and come in a variety of colors, including yellow, orange, red, and mix. The plants can grow to be 10–12 inches tall with a spread of 6–8 inches, and have dark green foliage that tends to stay low and dense.

Went back to one of my favorite visits to Colorado and found a few images to stitch. Produced a wide view of this mountain storm -- which also covered the top of these peaks with snow by evening.

The mixed train from Durango is approaching a water tank a bit further up the track for its first water stop on the way to Silverton. Visible to the right of the train is the Animas River that the train follows for much of the journey.

 

This photograph was captured during a photo shoot on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, organised by Trains Magazine. K-28 2-8-2 #473 had been re-numbered for the event to portray #477 with Rio Grande ‘speed lettering’ while working on the D&RGW.

We spent the 4th in Durango, CO this year. This shot was taken on a hill overlooking the downtown area looking west into a setting sun. #durango #fireworks
