What’s a girl to do when she gets a new tilt-shift lens and heads on a road trip? Why, she stops all along the way to play with her new goodie.

Ouray, CO is known as “America’s Switzerland” – now who deemed it such I am not sure, but it IS a picturesque little town nestled in the middle of the San Juan mountains and is not only a tourist spot with some healing hot springs located there, but, as my dad says “Gives the tourists somewhere to get a drink after driving over Red Mountain Pass for the first time.” Highlights are a fire hose fight in the middle of town on the 4th of July every year.
