Going places/Doing Things: Telluride’s Kris Holstrom
by Kris Holstrom
Imagine yourself surrounded by green – not necessarily "green" as in sustainable – but the color green. My recent three weeks in New Zealand saturated my ocular senses and coated my brain cells green. As a long time high desert dweller the lush land Down Under was almost unimaginably green. Our region gets 10-14 inches of rain annually; New Zealand, averages over 300. Some places, like Milford Sound in the Fiordlands, gets about seven meters. (Do the math. That's over 21 feet). The only places that weren’t green were blue (water) and gold (sandy beaches).
