First Snow
Golden, Colorado: January 4, 2004


We had our first snow of 2004 yesterday, so I went for a walk around the neighborhood to take some pictures.

Here's a view of the foothills from the park just north of our house:

Turning around, here's a view of North Table Mountain.

The following are some pictures from the Open Space Park path that follows a gulch into Golden. The stream that runs through that Gulch eventually meets up with Clear Creek.

This is a picture of Coors Tek, taken from 10th Street. Hopefully, in a couple of years, Mike will be able to get an internship at a place like that or NIST.

This is a picture of the re-designed entrance to downtown Golden - but it still has the familiar sign! (It reads "Howdy Folks! Welcome to Golden - Where The West Lives")
Howdy Folks! Welcome to Golden

Looking the other way - north on Washington Avenue
