We visited our friends Mandy and John who are just moving into the house they have been building. It is at 7600 feet above El Jebel, Co. The living room from the entrance. The whole wall of windows have a view of Sopris peak, Capital and the Maroon Bells.  Beautiful,

Mandy, who is a woodworker built all the cabinets in the house. Including this wildly patterned bathroom cabinet. 

View out the guest room window. Deer frequent their property. 

Mandy, John and John.  Sunset on Capital Peak.

Their property is so high up you can watch clouds and  birds. A couple of vultures landed, and flew off.
