Where's Nifty?! #2

First there was Silver Cliff, a silver mining boom town that thrived until the price of silver crashed around 1890. At it's height the third largest town in Colorado, the silver crash was just a continuation of Silver Cliff's bad luck. The first crushing blow and the one that still echoes today is the decision by the railroad to buy up land directly west of Silver Cliff and then build a spur off the main rail line 40 miles to the north that ended in the new town of Westcliffe.

Quite a story, Paul. Thanks for sharing.

Seems like one of the nifties is on it'so way to Cleveland OH...
Can't wait. ..since I am in a bit of photography funk..

Our local radio station had an open house today. I was the official photo guy so Nifty of course had to join in the fun. We'll start with this one, taken when I got into town about 10:30 am. Westcliffe's Main Street, looking west. We got about 3 inches of snow yesterday and last night.

Very picturesque, Paul. The light snow is very pretty. I wish we had that here. We were still running around with short sleeves. Getting sick of the warm weather and dreaming of a white Christmas

The discussion of which Open House cookies are favorites is a lively one.

But I'll get a lot done on the Thanksgiving holiday as we obviously do not celebrate it here but I get the Thursday and Friday off.

Annie, you have me really curious. Which company/organisation do you work for in Scotland that gives you a Thanksgiving holiday? No need to answer if doing so would give away too many secrets!

P.S. I'm not going to mention your use of the American English spelling of apologise!

Nice, makes me want to get out of this lousy weather in the Netherlands and head into the snowy mountains ^^

From ENifty - yesterday. I still have a snowy post to get together.

Ian, I work 'in' Chicago where I lived for many years. I have my own business, writing business software, and all my clients are there so when they get holidays I get holidays. However, I never get vacations (the Americans will understand this jargon) ie proper holidays, as I have to support my clients on every working day of the year. Therefore, I only get one day at Christmas and one day at New Year. I suppose you could say I have a foot on each side of the pond! I get things in a muddle sometimes regarding spellings and terminology, though, as I spend a lot time on the phone and have to remember the US way of speaking. Have a nice day!

Ok, good enough explanation

Having a nice day? Sitting here at the airport to start my journey back to Scotland, this mornings 3 flights all diverted to Malaga, if mine does then I'll miss my Heathrow connection to Glasgow

Here's nifty visiting Utah. Utah lake in Provo.

And again I didn't get notifications and never saw any of the posts on this page!

Very cool pics, Paul. The people seem to really have a good time there.

Annie, love the pic!

That's a lovely pano, Ray.


I think the list needs updating. I have no idea about the movements of the USA Nifties, so...

Stunning, Annie.
