Remember when every city and town had a building like this?
The restaurant that Naila and I had dinner at, the night before.
Another view of that restaurant. Haven't tried the hand made ice cream yet.
Really cool shot of HOJ and a cool book store next door.
What was nice, the streets were clear of all traffic, because of the race, so I could walk down the main streets without fear of being run over.
A cool business on the main drag.
Sepia version of same building.
A favorite book store. Sepia filter.
Downtown Manitou, and Pikes Peak in the background. Sepia filter.
A church off of main drag, downtown Manitou.
Same church in living color.
The original engine for the Cog Railroad which runs to the top of Pike's Peak, on display on Manitou Blvd.
The unique cog wheel, still used today on the modern version of this train.
This is a piece of art, that is completely interactive, and yes that is me standing on the desk and chair.
Does that tell you how big this desk and chair is? Getting up was easy, getting down was hard.
This man, posed, because he saw me posing and had to join in.
Yes, there was enough room for he and his wife to sit side by side on the chair.
My wife, Naila Moon of the Gray Wolf, as she is also known, standing next to the chair. She would have climbed up and sat in it, but was concerned that she never would have gotten out of the chair, had she done so.
That was close. Actually, it is rare to see police cruisers on patrol in Manitou, it is so quiet that most of the time they are parked at the station. As seen here in this photo from July 25th of this year.
One last look at where we began, the main entry to Manitou Springs.
