The majestic landscapes and beautiful wildflowers of the San Juan mountains in Southwestern Colorado are sure to offer many breathtaking photographic opportunities. We will take an excursion on the historic Durango & Silverton narrow gauge Railroad. This train once transported gold and silver ore from the San Juan mountains and Silverton. While the railroad has a history spanning 117 years, the new version of the locomotive is 75 years old and the coach cars are vintage 1880. This adventure promises to offer many unique photographic situations. We will also explore the scenic backroads of the nearby towns. Ouray, noted for its natural hot springs and sheer vertical splendor, and Telluride, which is located in a box canyon with surrounding peaks reaching 14,000 feet. Leica Camera will also graciously supply us with a selection of Leica cameras and lenses. This equipment will be available for your use and is a great opportunity to try out that new lens or camera body you've been thinking about. Pricing and a final itinerary have yet to be set. Please call for more information to be sent to you. Call Jeff Alford at Keeble & Shuchat Photography, (650) 327-8996.
