SkyWatch Friday

I'm a little early, but its already Friday in many parts of the world, so--- This is a COLD shot toward the ski slopes about 2 miles from our home. It is at sunset although you'd never know it by the lack of color. Most of our winter looks very much like this. Very few sunny days. Some of the slopes have their lights on, and if you look real close you can see the tiny skiers.
Thanks to those responsible for this really cool site.

It was such a rare sunny Saturday we just had to take a ride. This is the ski resort just a mile from our home. On this day, a week end day, there should have been tons of folks skiing, but there wasn't all that many. The economy do you think? I've seen it in years past that you couldn't even find a parking spot. Today there was plenty.
One of the condos. These are some of the first they built. Not the real expensive ones either. They are way up on top of the hills. Lots of artificial snow, as if we didn't have enough of the real stuff!

Not many people riding the lifts.

This is a moving track that takes the snowboarders to the top. Not many here either.

Wind blowing through the trees.

One up and one down...

Nobody on the jumps ? ? ?

More of the condos, and these aren't the expensive ones either. Someday I'll take you to see the real nice ones. They're impressive!

That's all on our ride for today. Actually it lasted allot longer, and I took lots of pictures of my birds when we got home. Stay tuned tomorrow for these shots.
