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

What Kat doesn't show is that the Space Needle is actually growing out of the top of a high rise. LOL No, not really but this is a shot I got of it as our ship was coming into port. Kat, thanks for putting the south side of the city in relation for me. I was wondering where Moni had been shooting. By the way, my dad had a restaurant on Denny Way near the base of the Space Needle during the 1962 World's Fair. Jodi-

Bartenders, bar servers and their boss setting up a display on a cruise ship deck near the pool. Long hours for those folks.

I also used the silver Dusty Miller paired with blue this year (blue Salvia in background inside the crescent boxwood bed, Dust.Mlr used as edging around the boxwood).

At a restaurant we visited on the Oregon Coast, they have transparent panels set into the floor so that you can see sea lions that climb up onto platforms beneath the restaurant.

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.
