Sandpictures by Austrian artist Klaus Bosch are now available, and can be ordered by clicking on the "Gifts" tab to left. We will update these listings to show the sand colors of each color frame and size in the future; if you would like to know this before the update, feel free to call (970-325-4044) or email (buckskin@ouraynet.com). To order sandpictures, please call or email, as you will need to order a certain color frame, and the web site batches all colors of a size together.

Ouray Area
Ouray, Colorado, was founded in about 1873 as a silver mining camp, and soon later gold was discovered in areas nearby. Incorporated as a city in 1876, the same year that Colorado became a state, Ouray has always attracted visitors, due to its scenic beauty, hot springs, and famous mines.
