I was disappointed that I did not spend more time in Cripple Creek.I may have seen this but between trying to find some place to eat to my liking and the road leading to Canon, I ran out of time.beautiful shot

One of the first thing I usually do when I see a window is to see if anyone is peeking out, lol. Nice shot. Aloha

Wonderful POV. I understand that Painted Ladies have to have at least 4 colors? Anyway, wish I had one. I love Victorian things, and the era, or really, anything old. ;c)

The colors on the dormer slats remind me of shopping for paint...all those swatches. I was looking for ramshackled houses...you found painted ladies. Your eye doesn't miss a thing:) Postworked beautifully.

I was briefly expecting a butterfly. What a superb photo, and I think I should love the house, but not the upkeep.

More than anything I love, is the balcony - so sumptuous (sounds like I am talking about a big-breasted lady?) hmmmm - not far off, actually! beautiful architectural image, new to my viewing eyes, BB

These are the kinds of painted ladies I like. The other sorts of painted ladies are okay, too, only they charge too much, or offer to charge too much, even when you're genetically immune to their wiles. I knew a couple of those who always tried to convince me of things that were patently untrue. Needless to say, I rather like the wooden, Victorian ones a lot more, though all of the interesting stories happen inside of them, rather than to them. A fair trade off, I suppose. This is a brilliant, wonderfully seen, perfectly framed and colored shot. I like it immensely.
