This is one of several signs on the way to the UFO Watch Tower near Mosca, Colorado which is a few miles north of Alamosa. There have been two books written about the San Luis Valley and UFO's - some call it the mysterious valley as there are a lot of UFO sittings and cattle mutilations and stuff like that. We've lived here 26 years and have never seen anything odd yet.

This sign is near Crestone, Colorado where a lot of New Age people live. They think the valley is one of the portals into the next dimension (or something like that!).

This seems a little dark to me, but I love the depth of field and the relative lighting of the sign.
