Runway in the Valley

This runway does look like a ski ramp from where I shot this picture. It was late summer and I was driving through Telluride CO. Decided to stop and have a quick look see. The free cable car ride from the town of Telluride to the Mountain village was well worth the effort. In between you can get down mid way atop a mountain at a scheduled stop. if you do get off at this stop, You can then absorb the alpine scenery at a local restaurant or hike around or start on one of the many ski trails during winter. We love the place so much and wanted to spend more time around. Guess what, the hotels were all booked and what was available was way beyond our meager budget. The locals said that during ski season this town is packed and the rental real estate is booming and availability scarce.
However, there was plenty to shoot around ( pictures I mean).

Telluride Regional Airport, located only seven miles from the Towns of Telluride and Mountain Village. That late sunset provided some interesting color for me to choose this shot for this post.
