Just a guy loving life in beautiful Colorado. Amateur photographer & astrophotographer. There's nothing like a Rocky Mountain high. Love my family, music, cooking and travel. No politics or drama here.

This is a composite of two separate photos I took. While not astronomically correct, fun all the same😎.

Enjoyed photographing the massive Union Pacific steam locomotive "Big Boy Engine #4014" while it was heading from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Colorado. It was built between 1941-1944.

Enjoyed getting out for some astrophotography last week. This is Messier 101, the "Pinwheel Galaxy", it is a spiral galaxy located about 22 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It is nearly twice the size of our own Milky Way Galaxy!
