Cope, Colorado

Cope, Colorado is located in Eastern Colorado along Highway 36. It is very close to the border with Kansas. Because it has fallen on hard times makes it perfect for prairie photography. When I go thru Cope I stop and stretch my legs and try to get new pictures.

Bad Weather on the Plains

One day it’s nice – but remember Colors in the morning – Sailers take warning. This is a sunrise in Goodland Kansas. The next day it was a blizzard with I70 closed from Denver to Colby where I had to hunker down for a nite.
