Every photo of the Bookcliffs in Palisade seems to have a different look.
From the parking lot of Palisades National Bank, you get a better idea of the openness of Palisade's location and the grandeur of the cliffs. Yes, let's be confusing. The town changed its name a few years back from Palisades to Palisade because someone thought it sounded hipper and more modern. This may be true, but it left a lot of businesses and organizations with a name that no longer matched the town's name, and a lot of confused visitors (and possibly residents). Town = Palisade. Bank name = Palisades.
This is looking west toward Mt. Garfield from the parking lot.
This is looking east toward Grand Mesa from the bank parking lot. The building beyond the white fence looks for all the world like a ranch house for a horse farm, but it's actually a pharmacy and doctors' offices. It's almost brand new, as is the bank.
Taking a photo of the bank itself must have been an afterthought, because I didn't bother to get out of the car. It was probably also an experiment with the camera.
