Artist Reply: Thanks, no, it was taken from terra firma. When we were in Colorado, we stuck to autos, and did take the rail road up to the top of Pike`s Peak. This could have been from the train, but more likely from an observation point. These Colorado photos were taken mostly in around 1998, so it`s hard to remember exactly. I took hundreds of them, and didn`t label any. My main purpose was for photo references for my paintings. I have been spending a lot of my spare time (lol) trying to sort and label all of these photos.
