For the film festival this past weekend, my group and I stayed in Mountain Village, a cluster of lodges on the other side of the mountain of the town of Telluride. To get into town (and to work each morning), we had to take a 20 minute gondola ride through some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. Everywhere I looked, it felt like I was in a postcard. Here are a few pics of the views from the gondola commute that became the highlight of my day....except for the part when we had to go BACK to the lodge at midnight and it was pitch black dark, in the gondola car by myself 1000 ft above the ground IN THE WIND. *shiver* Eerie.
