Loveland is not a very popular place to visit but a small beautiful town in Colorado. It attracts tourists in winter for skiing. I heard the news today that Loveland ski area is open now.
In love - ice sculpture |
That eagle looked ferocious with fire |
Butterfly and a heart on fire |
Cool colorful penguins made with ice |
The next day, we want to see something more in Loveland before leaving the place. One place that attracted me is 'Benson sculpture garden'.
Lively |
See the clarity in face |
I specifically don't like statues but the collection here is unique, lively and amazing. Honestly, it is very difficult for me to choose some pictures to this post from many beautiful statues that I captured.
Children playing |
How natural it is? |
There is also a lake in the town 'Loveland lake' which was frozen in winter but it would have been a great place to visit in summer. 'Loveland pass' near to this town is famous for breathtaking views of mountains and valleys.
Sometimes, we underestimate a few places if they are not popular. Loveland amazed me even though we went with fewer expectations.
How do you like this place?
Until next time,
