Fred, this is a shot of the Alamosa area. Alamosa is about 15 miles towards the top portion of this picture where the sun is shining. Lots of wide open flat sage brush land. Can be very cold at night and really nice during the day unless a storm rolls in. The town doesn't have a whole lot of places to eat, but, my wife and I really enjoyed the San Louis brewery which I am sure will be a very popular place.
