    This is Tonsaasen, Etnedal, in the area of Valdres in Norway. Compare with Axel Lindahls photos: www.nb.no/cgi-bin/galnor/gn_sok.sh?id=50628&skjema=2&...

    Gunners3: Thanks a lot for your swift and precious contribution with the correct location! I will now be able to complete with the correct data on Flickr C. and in our database. (Hopefully this could also be a way to locate the other Norwegian photos we will publish later this week and the next!) The place on the photo is indeed Tonsaasen Sanatorium, in Etnedal Municipality in Valdres area and Oppland fylke (county). The Swedish photographer Axel Lindahl (1841-1906) was contemporary with Carl Curman: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Lindahl I wonder if they met and discussed photography?

    Sweet ride!
  • Jochen Wachter said:
    I believe this is actually not near Creede, CO at all. A horizon this flat can only be seen near the front range in Colorado. I would guess that this is taken on US-40 climbing Mount Vernon Canyon west of Golden, CO, facing west. The hill in the center just below the horizon would then be Green Mountain south of Golden. These days, I-70 takes up most of this valley, as you can see in this shot facing uphill: www.dot.state.co.us/50anniversary/images/I70Photos/I70Mou...

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons To answer your question Carol, ladies who tried to rise above their station and enter the first class waiting room were given a dose of cold shoulder by those ladies entitled to be there and hot tongue by the waiting room attendant!

    That road looks fun. Wonder if it's still there?
  • Zeb Palmer said:
    it's been rebuilt. there aren't any curves in it anymore. one straight long hill called "freezeout."
  • Robert Carrier said:
    Well, that's too bad. Thanks for the info.
  • nasck said:
    !!! lindo...
  • Kevin Tower said:
    zebthepilot: Isn't this what is referred to as the "old freezeout road" nowadays? The mainline is (for the most part) straight downhill, but I believe the original road still exists. Follow this link to see what I mean.
