Fort Collins to Horsetooth Reservoir – Colorado

Fort Collins to Horsetooth Reservoir – Colorado

By Naren Ubi on November 21, 2009

I was cleaning up the pictures folder when I stumbled upon these photos. Hmm, it’s been two full years since I clicked these pics on the way to the Horsetooth Reservoir from Fort Collins, Colorado. After crawling through the unruly maze in T.Nagar, there’s hardly anyone wouldn’t wish for a calm, neat road, winding up [...]

The Rocky road ahead – Themed pic of the day

By Naren Ubi on November 19, 2008

When I entered the Rocky Mountain National Park, the temperature was -17°C. The wind was howling and ferocious, and I presume that the ‘real feel’ would have been close to -30°C or even less.

I just couldn’t stand those insanely freezing temperatures with the gloves off my hands (at times, I felt like I was being sprayed with liquid Nitrogen!!), as I had to grip my camera from slipping, and of course for a decent shot at the Road Ahead!!

Horsetooth Reservoir – Themed pic of the day

By Naren Ubi on November 13, 2008

Though I spent just about a week in Fort Collins, Colorado, the place has never failed to amaze me. Just a few kilometers west of Fort Collins lies the Horsetooth Reservior. I was told that the reservoir is a little over 6 miles long and spread across some 2000 acres approx.

It was a cold and sunny winter day when I visited the reservoir; what a perfect day for photography! Though not a pro at framing nature, I tried this shot from the middle of the road, the sides of which appeared to gracefully merge with the bluish tinge of the waters.

pony express express mail delivery system

Themed pic of the day – Technology, travel

By Naren Ubi on October 29, 2008

On my way to the Horsetooth Reservoir at Fort Collins, Colorado, I stumbled into an antique shop with an intent to get a souvenir. I was looking around the shop and came face-to-face with this horseback rider.

The picture speaks for itself! Upon inquiry, I came to know that this Pony Express was indeed an express mail service between 1860 and 1861. Though it was in vogue only for a short time, it became the forerunner of express delivery mail technologies, and the logo is still in use by the United States Postal Service.
