Postcard Shot – Maroon Bells, originally uploaded by jetrotz.

Here is the requisite postcard shot of Aspen’s Maroon Bells from our hike yesterday – allegedly the most photographed spot in the state. I can see why! I’ll add other photos from the visit later…

So our day comes to an end. After catching a road race passing by the house this morning (blogged earlier), then an afternoon spent first at a friend’s office with a balcony overlooking the oh-so-quirky Aspen 4th of July Parade, and the annual free Aspen Music Festival patriotic band concert, Amy’s uncle Gary and I went up Red Mountain, the peak opposite Aspen Mountain to catch the fireworks to cap off the day. I like how this one came out.
