Day 5 Photos - Bishop's CastleI hate to take time with shakey connections to find links...so google Bishop Castle, CO and you should find hits on this spot. Discovery Channel was filming here on the 15th.
To read what I said about our day at Bishop Castle click here.....and here are a "few" (about 1/3) of the photos we took of the day. ::snort::
The connection is not sure enough for me to do more entries with photos, but these will give you lots to look at. It BUGS me that some are small. LOL It really grates that they aren't in order. ::snort::
Bishop Castle
Jim Bishop - built this by HIMSELF - did I mention he is a "bit" eccentric?
Cy - this top ball used to rotate - YIKES. He plans to glass it in and make it the biggest disco ball in the world.
Dragon head can shoot flame
Some of the stained glass windows
Nolan & Zander in jail
THIS is what you climb on - 75 feet up
Close up of the metal "stairs"
Yep - a bit too scarey for my taste. LOL
Nolan near the top
Zander in jail
Steep stairs....
See how narrow they are?
Shoot why are THESE small?
Girls on the "throne"
Boys on throne
Showing the walkways etc
Jared & Josiah in jail
Signs like this ALL over...
This house/giftshop is next to the castle and where Jim and his wife live
OK - this is HIGH up (3 stories or more) and that little bit of spikes is the ONLY safety feature
Josiah
Some of the kids in the top ball - 75+ feet up
Showing the walkways
Jamin & Mike
Can you imagine fire?
Josiah & Nolan (possibly Krista) at the top
Mike at top
Mike again in the ball...

Wow!
yes -- WOW!
That is really cool looking, but I would hyperventilate I'm sure. I wonder how much liability insurance that guy has got?!
I could NOT go up there...and I'd prolly have a hard time watching my kids and husband climb up there! WOW! Looks like an interesting place, though...
Okay, that is really high and I would have definitely been taking the pictures from the ground! Yikes! What an interesting building and I would love to see the fire.
I must have been too tired to share the whole story earlier. LOL
I got 1/2 way up the steep steps that you see NOlan and Zander sitting on...Nolan's foot to show how narrow they were...and panicked. I was carrying Stacia. I froze. I was nauseated. I couldn't go up or down. I began screaming for MIke. He racked back down from somewhere and took Stacia. I climbed up to the second level, took photos, sat and waited until I could breathe, tried the outside iron steps to the next level.....went DOWN instead and spent the rest of the day on the ground taking photos. LOL
more fun. The pictures are just fine from below and give a neat dimension to it all.
