I live in Boulder Colorado. It's a medium sized city with less than 100,000 residents. It's located right up against the Rocky mountains, about 30 miles from Denver, which is the state capital and the largest city in the region.
Here's a shot of the local cliffs that tend to dominate the city's skyline in summer. The fields below are full of wildflowers that present an ever changing pallette of color from spring to autumn.
It's ok here. The weather is really mild. It gets cold sometimes in the winter, but it rarely lasts more than a couple of days. We often have 60 degree days in the winter months, and a lot of sun. My main complaint is that the summers are too hot, and the sun is too intense. I like a more moderate climate like those that benefit from the west coast marine effect (east coast in the southern hemisphere). I'm hoping to one day move back to the west coast, either the central coast of California or the Oregon coast somewhere. Thankfully my house in Boulder is worth a fortune. I can probably afford to move to California right now and simply trade houses. If I decide to buy a place on the Oregon coast I can afford to also pick up some warm sunny land somewhere as a refuge from the fury of the Oregon winter.

I absolutely fell in love with the place when I visited the University there. If all things go to plan, hopefully I'll be doing a post-grad course up there in a few years time and be able to live in that lovely city.
