I'm sorry these aren't the best shots, but I threw them together so charliep51 could have a look at his hometown with photoreal scenery.
What a beautiful town!

That is way nice and TYVM!!!..actually for clarification the airport id is 07V - for others info - you got the geography right though! Those two large mountains are The Spanish Peaks. The one on the right is west spanish peak and is 13,634 ft as I recall. The Native Americans called them Wayatollah (sp?) meaning "Breasts of the Earth" and they believed all life eminated from within those two peaks. There are quite prominent on the lansdscape (visible from Denver) as they rise over nearly 7,000 ft from the the Cucahara Valley floor where I live here in La Veta, Colorado. They are a protected Wilderness Area and really huge here in La Veta with such a great local elevation. I see them very boldly from my property as they are about 1 mile away. this is a great retirement town (an artists colony of 900 souls - I'm a musician) and TY for the screenshots. They are even more dramatic when snow-capped which is virtually all year long...flying through the 'cleavage' of the 'Breasts of the Earth' is a 9,500 ft hurdle...The other mountain range shown is the Sangre de Cristo which means 'blood of Christ' due to the reddish hue over them at sunset. Now doesn't that beat stinky old New Jersey?? LOL!!Happy Landings to ALL !!
THX again!! Charliep51 in La Veta,Colorado
