Captured: Nine Years of War in Iraq

After nearly nine years in Iraq, the final combat troops continue to arrive back in the U.S. The war that officially began eight years and nine months earlier cost nearly 4,500 American, well more than 100,000 Iraqi lives and $800 billion from the U.S. Treasury.

Warning: All images in this entry are shown in full, not screened out for graphic content. Some images contain dead bodies, graphic content and tragic events. We consider these images an important part of human history.

Night won’t fall on Fort Collins, Colo., drive-in anytime soon

Another outdoor movie season has come and gone, as have the usual offers for Wesley Webb to sell the Holiday Twin Drive-In.

“My wife and I, we kind of shrug it off,” said Webb, 80, whose 32nd season at the Holiday Twin wrapped over Labor Day weekend with “Cowboys and Aliens.”

Our last Mountain Porn post was a smashing success (Thanks again for the suggestion WNYC!) so I’ll keep looking through our files and asking our photographers for fantastic mountain shots. Here’s another for your weekend, courtesy of Denver Post photographer Craig F. Walker: Looking south at Red Table Mountain and the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness area of the Elk Mountains during a fly-over of the proposed Hidden Gems Wilderness Areas  in Eagle and Summit County, CO. Left and center are the Maroon Bells, and to the right Snowmass Mountain and Capitol Peak are visible.
