Photography Now & Then #63
We leave a small light on in the dining room at night. It gives off enough light for navigating through the living room and kitchen, as well, if we’re up during the night. This morning was one of those days when it was still dark outside when I got up.

At the end of September, 2015, our plans had been to head over to the Moab, Utah area after leaving Mesa Verde National Park. Those plans changed, though, when we checked the weather forecast and found it was supposed to be very ho there. We decided, instead, to go up to Grand Junction for a couple of days before heading over into Utah. Along the way, we stopped for a stretch and photo break in Rico, in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains.

One of the things I like to do with photos of town and city buildings is to eliminate the perspective of the building(s) I’m focusing on so that they appear squared up, as wide at the top as they are at the bottom and as tall on the left as they are on the right.
Rico is an incorporated small town in Dolores County, Colorado, United States. It was settled in 1879 as a silver mining center in the Pioneer Mining District; today it functions as a historic and tourism site. The population was 265 at the 2010 census,[8] up from 205 at the 2000 census. Its current form of government is that of a Home Rule Municipality.
Rico is a name derived from Spanish meaning “rich”.
