Winter Wonderland – January 2013 Dome of the Month Winner
Congratulations to Katja Wichland and Josh Rapaport on winning the January 2013 Dome of the Month with this lovely winter photo of their 26′ Growing Dome Greenhouse in Colorado. Protected by their adopted Chow Chow named Bella, they are at 9,000 feet elevation near Telluride and are coming up on their two-year anniversary of owning their Growing Dome. We’ve so appreciated Katja’s artistic photos and updates over time and are excited to be able to honor her this month. Aren’t the contrast of blues in this photo just beautiful? It’s so fun how this photo gives a homestead feel to such an unconventional structure. What a great way to kick-off the year!
