This past week I had lunch with a friend who is planning her wedding. They haven't decided on a place to hold the ceremony yet but she mentioned the town of
La Veta, Colorado. I quickly asked, "What did you just say?"
"
La Veta, Colorado."
"Ummm. That's where my friends bought a house two years ago and where I spent my vacation last summer."
"No way."
Keep in mind, this town is tiny-tiiinnny. You have to know it's there to find it, but when you do it's a little slice of heaven. She mentioned a little wooden chapel. I told her I had taken some shots of one "downtown" and would show them to her since she's actually never been there. Some friends of hers bought a house there as well.
So instead of just sending her a few images, I thought I would share them and a few more favorites with you guys as well.
You probably can't see it but there's a sign on the church that says it was built in 1877. How cool would it be to have a small-sized ceremony here? Simple and slightly rustic.
Can you imagine the history and life changes this little church has seen?
"Downtown"
La Veta. I use that word loosely since only the main highway that goes through the town is paved and the rest of the streets/roads are dirt. No, I'm not kidding. Dirt.
Not bad for a dirt road, eh?
View from the backyard of my friends' house. And I didn't have to zoom in very much. I woke up to this every morning.
The view from their courtyard to the valley below. This was where you would find me the majority of the day gazing and reading and at night making smores. Yummm.
Hope you enjoyed something a little different. If you ever get the chance to visit La Veta, please do. You won't be disappointed.
