Near Central CIty (Posterized Photo)

I am having fun editing some of the photos I took during our Colorado trip in June.  This image began with a photo that I took on the way to Central City.  I remembered the excitement of going to Central City as a kid,  Unfortunately, it was Monday and the Opera House and Saloon were closed. Everything was quiet except for the casinos.  But the drive to get there was very exciting, lots of twists and turns, and great views of the mountains.  I was taking pictures from the passenger seat as we drove.  By the time I cropped the car interior and street signs out of the original photo, the focus was very soft, so I opened the image in Painter and began to play with it, posterizing in sections to get interesting colors.
