About the Images

The photos for this semester's web site were taken at Tiny Town, Colorado. While we tend to think that virtual reality is something new. Tiny Town has been around since 1920 offering a pint sized version of reality for several generations of kids. Tiny Town is one of those places for which I have a strong sense of Topophilia. The town is run by a non-profit organization and might also be seen as an example of ways that people enage in vocations designed to make the world a better place. A tiny railroad runs around the perimeter of the town. Kids can climb inside many of the buildings. Ironically because Tiny Town is so old, some of the structures would be considered historic landmarks were they full sized.
