Como, Colorado has to be one of the most “colorful” places to shoot in Colorado. The small town is filled with little visual treasures like this one. I always find something new when I go to Como!

Como Cemetery
This was taken from Como Cemetery, just outside of Como, Colorado. Como is an old mining town that was very popular because the railroad passed through on it’s way to Breckenridge. At one time the town even had two newspapers, multiple saloons and hotels. Much of the town burned and was never re-built.
Now, there are less than a hundred people living there. It’s situated at the opposite end of Boreas Pass from Breckenridge in South Park.
The Cemetery itself is filled with mysterious tombs of babies, nameless women and miners. It’s nestled into a beautiful Aspen Grove overlooking this great vista.

This photo was taken of a truck in the town of Como, Co. If you’ve never been to Como, you have to go! It’s the strangest little town that looks like it could be abandoned, but it’s not. Many of the houses look like a junk yard office. It’s filled with visual treats for photographers. Don’t forget to visit the cemetery while you’re there. It’s situated in a lovely aspen grove just outside of town.
