Day 283: The Road to Silverton!

It was rainy and cold in Grand Junction in the morning, so we skipped the Colorado National Monument…a spectacular and potentially slippery place without guard rails…eventually we approached Ouray, Colorado.

Scenic attractions along the road over the top to Silverton…An Arch to drive through!

A view of more of the highway.  No guard rails and the road ends at the fog line.

Day1428303

A panorama of the waterfall from under the highway.  This one is the best combination of the three photos I used, but I have included the other two attempts.  I really like the second one.

There are several choices in making a panorama, and the results can be very different.
