Last Dollar Road , Colorado

When this road was a mining supply route in the 1800s, the workers probably werenÃ¢ÂÂt too enthusiastic about its sharp turns and bumpy patches. But today, travelers have a whole different attitude. Thrill seekers (and confident drivers) boldly take on Last Dollar with enthusiasm. - See more at: http://www.colorado.com/articles/colorado-hidden-gem-last-dollar-road#sthash.WclqsSNt.dpuf

These birds were 12 stories up, atop my son's largest ham radio tower this week. The focus doesn't look all that great, but in the original version I can see the sharply detailed foot of the bird in flight at the top.

A fox in my sister's backyard. There was a pair that made a den under her shed and had 5 kits! It was great fun to watch the babies come out and play.

Beautiful photos, everyone! They are all "frame-worthy!" Ginger - are there tours of the castle, and if so, did you tour it? Would be wonderful to see the interior.

Stacey, there are tours & I did go through it. Surprisingly, the rooms are smaller than they appear on TV but it's a gorgeous place. The current countess is a great writer who wrote "Lady Almina & the real Downton Abbey" which was a fascinating true story about that countess who was the illegitimate daughter of a Rothschild. She set up a hospital there during WWI. Got that one on my Kindle. I got her 2nd book about the next real countess at Highclere & it's signed.
The count is one who discovered King Tut's tomb & there's a display of some of his treasures.

Beautiful. A pet peeve of mine is when I'm trying to take a picture, and people keep walking and standing right in front of me and taking their own pictures and then walking away slow enough that it ensures that another person is in frame before they are gone.

I've removed the offenders from your picture. :-)

I think I read that the annual upkeep of the castle and property is something like 1 million pounds a year, and that the increase in tourist activity due to the show has helped the make the property self-sufficient

Loved this place in north central PA. I could use my scooter on the boardwalk and get into the blind to spy on the wildlife. The reeds were filled with Red Winged Blackbirds.

Thank you, Bob! There were so many people there it was hard to get any picture without somebody in the frame. It was the day before the castle closed for the year.
