Description
*** 2 TIME CONTEST WINNER ***
The Stanley Hotel, known for its architecture, magnificent setting, and famous visitors, may possibly be best known today for its inspirational role in Stephen King's novel, "The Shining." This Colorado hotel has been featured as one of America's most haunted hotels and with the numerous stories from visitors and staff, The Stanley Hotel continues to "shine" today, as it did in 1909 when first opened. Forced by poor health to move West, F.O. Stanley and his famous Steamer arrived in Estes Park in 1903. Finding the town lacking in amenities, F.O. set out to change the local economy. On the 160 acres he purchased from Lord Dunraven, Stanley first built the main building of the hotel, one of 11 buildings in the original complex. Many of those original buildings remain in use today on the remaining 55 acres. Estes Park is the gateway to the Rocky Mountain National Park, full of lush forests, thriving wildlife, and over 300 miles of hiking trails. The Stanley Hotel is truly '7500 Feet Above the Ordinary!' This image is also available in black and white.

Excellent capture of a highly haunted hotel. You need to watch taking photo's of this place that nothing of the paranormal follows you home.. L&F..

A perfect image and just in time for halloween too! Stephen King recently published a sequel to The Shinning but I have not yet read it.

Excellent work Priscilla. This guy is a hard one to photograph. I ended up on the hill just south of the hotel and did OK, I guess but I like your moon addition and mood very much. f/v
