Nice photo. Such warm colors. How hight is this town?
This is one of my photos, Anon. Leadville is 10,152 feet high. I just checked the Wiki, and they say it's the second highest city in the USA. Oh well.In any case, it's quite a spot, with a main street looking (almost) as it did in the 1880's. Being a sea-level dweller, walking up two floors of stairs to my hotel room emphasized the lack of O2 there! If you are in Colorado, it's worth a visit.
How small is it Wombat? (not that I couldn't look the information up myself, but you seem to be a walking encyclopedia anyway... :))It's cute. Strikes me as small and old-fashioned.
It's tiny, Amanda - mostly a tourist and backwoods ski-related place now. 3000 people or so. But they have done wonders keeping the Victorian/Goldrush buildings, with their dramatic windows and glowing red-brick construction. Old-fashioned is about right.
You're talking to a girl for who 3000 people is a "big" town. :)Cute. I like it when towns are able to preserve the spirit of times past.
