Great series. I also like Leavenworth a lot, have been there a couple times (never in winter).

#6 would be perfect blown up and placed over a couch in a lodge.

Very nice series! I especially like 1, 6, and 8.

I'm only a few hours from Leavenworth myself, but I haven't made it there in the winter yet. This makes me want to go sooner rather than later.

Nice pictures! That is a beautiful place. I was there with my daughter a couple of years ago but my pictures don't look anything like yours...it was August and about 90 degrees!

[cherny]

Thanks guys! #1, 6 and 8 are my own personal favorites from the trip, in that order.

Absolutely gorgeous shots! Very well done.

Lovely and, for me, nostalgic. As a child, my grandfather would take me there to fish for trout.

Nice pictures -- 1, 6, & 8 are my faves, too (like the wood tones in 8 for some reason). I used to go there every couple of years in the winter as a kid with my brother and dad. Went again with my wife on our honeymoon in the summer of 2001. It's a beautiful place ... and one or two amazing chocolatiers. :)

1, 6 & 8 for me too! #8 almost doesn't seem real, looks like a model, so crisp!

[cherny]

Thanks guys.

Just thought I'd add one last shot to the series. I didn't get a chance to do much shooting at night when I was there (mainly because it was too freaking cold!).

Here's a panorama of Front St. in downtown Leavenworth:

Thank you all again for your comments!

I love the leaf shot. Nice composition

[hawaiiboy]

I am really like # 8 & 9. Very nice.
I think I will have to try and visit there as well.

[cherny]

Thanks for your feedback guys.

Here's one more, I keep posting them as they are processed. Let me know if you're bored/have had enough and I'll stop posting! ;)
