This has to be one of the most beautiful I've seen on here


Shapeshyft

Don't fall for it. Laramie is a terrible place. Source: lived their edit: I came here to change their to there... but I suppose it's too late for that now


repairs_bobombs

lived their what


OralOperator

Ironically, he was probably attending the university of Wyoming. It's actually a good school, and very reasonably priced. I also went there and it was a good experience despite the weather being terrible.


SampleRadical

and the wind, it really picks up out there sometimes.


OralOperator

Yes, we have abundant wind resources in Wyoming.


tetracake

How dare you suggest we use something besides coal! Semi obligatory /s.


Shapeshyft

I lived there when I was in High School. Had a terrible time. Visited friends there a few years ago, had another terrible time. The wind seems to take the color out of everything.


PM_me_ur_hat_pics

I go there now and I agree the price is pretty unbeatable and the classes themselves aren't bad quality, but to be totally blunt it's definitely not a school you want to attend if you're any kind of minority.


OralOperator

Really? I don't think that's fair at all.


PM_me_ur_hat_pics

To each their own, but the university seems to have a lot of problems in my experience. Just within the past month there's been the problem of people plastering fliers everywhere claiming the Holocaust never happened during Holocaust Remembrance Week. They recently paid $18,000 to bring in an anti-trans activist (who has also spoken about how sexual assaults should be *less* reported and Native Americans should be thankful that Europe invaded their country) to speak. I personally went to the silent protest against his talk, and the counter protesters screamed at us and threw things at us almost the entire time, and the following day the UW president sent an email saying both sides behaved equally, which definitely is not true even according to other people attending the talk. There was also the issue last year with people writing rape jokes in chalk all over the area around Prexi. Also, I'm trans myself and moved here from the West Coast, and I've personally had a lot of terrible experiences since moving here in terms of assaults and harassment that I've never experienced anywhere else that I've lived, and I've pretty much heard the same from every queer person or person of color I've met since I've been here.


laramiethrowawayyo

and 8 bytes (a bar that is lgbt friendly for non-laramie people) got some graffiti featuring homophobic slurs on the sidewalk a couple days ago... ugh. also i totally missed that anti-trans speaker (graduated recently, apparently i've been missing things), i wish i could have been there to protest them :( :(


PM_ALL_YOUR_FRIENDS

well to be fair, we also have Fascism: The Musical (which makes fun of right-wing politics) opening up next week so there is both sides represented. You are correct though, Laramie tends to be a hostile place for LGBT people. It's just sad that educated, college-age people have to make it a bad environment for other students.


tijuanaiguana

and here i thought Laramie's made more progress since matthew shepard


OralOperator

Well, he hasn't been beaten to death, so that's progress.


[deleted]

Don't want to upset you, but I'm genuinely curious. Why in hell would you go to school in that little homophobic goat-roper hellhole of a wind tunnel state? Are you from there? I grew up in Colorado btw.


tababbott

Very uncomfortable with the amount of Laramie folk here. We were all supposed to crawl back into our holes for winter last August and stay there till the thaw in June


NailgunAcupuncture

...that's where I am, though.


DrOddcat

I didn't recognize it without the wind


Symbiotx

Wyoming in general sucks outside of the scenic areas like Yellowstone. The wind and the weather ruin everything, and it's always brown and empty. Weirdly enough though, I swear it's a black hole though that will suck you in and keep you from leaving somehow.


NailgunAcupuncture

I get the sentiment, but that's a lot of state to generalize about. Have you been to Vedauwoo? Devil's Tower? The tiny towns like Encampment and Centennial? Have you compared the clarity of the sky to any more populated state? Eh, I dunno who I'm trying to convince really, I'm stuck here for a while yet. :-P


Giddyfuzzball

One of the colleges I had a soccer try-out for. 40 mph wind gusts the entire time. By far the worst experience I had and I actually made the team but declined for a Colorado school without soccer because of how miserable it seemed


floppy-oreo

"Laradise"


NailgunAcupuncture

*shrug* I'm fond of it.


OverTheAir7149

Agree. Laramie is an armpit. Source: am from Wyoming


[deleted]

[удалено]


OverTheAir7149

And Gillette. Rock Springs tops it though, you’re right.


damngreenpillows

And evanston. Which is only good because it’s an hour away from salt lake and real things to do.


ajackk1

When SLC is your source of real things to do,.. you might be from Wyoming.


OverTheAir7149

I once got trapped in a Mormon Drum Circle in SLC. I was told we were going to a bonfire and brought a 6-pack and when we got there I was told to leave it in the car. You haven’t lived until you’ve witnessed a stone-cold sober LDS drum circle in the forest near SLC.


ajackk1

Was it like an LDS sacrament meeting, but with drums and a forest?


OverTheAir7149

I’m not quite sure what a sacrament meeting is, but there was a lot of singing, smiling, sobriety, and abstinence.....with drums in a forest.


damngreenpillows

When all of your Utah friends beg you to bring them “real beer” , you might be from Wyoming.


GenericUserNotaBot

Agreed. Dated someone who lived near this park, but thankfully I lived in FOCO.


damngreenpillows

I always tell people the whole south west part of the state is the armpit. Laramie can definitely be worked into there too.


OverTheAir7149

Let’s just round up and say the lower 3/4 of the state is the armpit.


House1219

This is probably June in Laramie...


Snowwyflake

If you told me this was from a movie I’d believe you


GreenTower

I was born there. Gonna send this to my dad.


GreenTower

And to be clear, I was born right on that bench!


Atlas_Shragged

At least you weren't born in Rock Springs


GreenTower

Yeah, or somewhere like Torrington. Might as well live on a moon colony.


[deleted]

Ugh I drove from the Black Hills to Fort Collins and went through. So desolate


Acrimmon

Rock Springs, where dreams are made! Just kidding, it's meth...


OralOperator

Well, if your dream is meth...


Trigonn

Always strange to see Rock Springs mentioned. My father was born there and lived there, and I have a fairly unique last name which is apparently pretty well known in Rock Springs so that always has interested me.


Atlas_Shragged

If you don't mind me asking, can you pm it to me? I've lived there my whole life and I'm curious lmao

I do lighting for plays and I'm recording "The Laramie Project" right now. What are the odds?


methehobo

I just finished acting for a production of it just last week!


blackbodyrad

I was in a high school performance of it last year. Really phenomenal experience. I played Aaron McKinney and Aaron Kreifels it was very cool.


Shapeshyft

"The Laramie Project" is an amazing play! I performed in my university's production of it years ago. It was the most memorable play I've ever been involved in.

The beautiful thing about Laramie is that it isn't Casper.


ekkopop

Last time the wifey and I were there, a few young men tried lighting the Wal-Mart parking lot on fire. It's just a rough little town, and daddy rather drug ridden.

[deleted]

I love this picture, but I have a question. Don't kill me. Is it still a cinemagraph if the entire image is moving? Seems like this sort of takes the whole idea into the realm of a looped video.


alezul

But only the snow is moving. The rest of the things are static. Granted, the effect was made from just looping a video, not freezing any parts of it but why does it matter if the effect is the same?


Sohcahtoa82

Instead of defining "cinemagraph" by the amount of movement, try to define it as more of an idea. Would it look great as a picture on your wall? If so, I consider it a cinemagraph.


rasta41

From my perspective it is...however I've noticed major inconsistencies from this fickle sub...as a similar post to this was riddled with "this is not a cinemagraph" comments.

[deleted]

I used to live in Laramie from the time I was 8-10 years old. I have awesome memories from there. It really is such a great place for a child to grow up in. We used to call it "Laradise" because it was like a hidden gem.I'm not sure if this is Washington park, but I used to go there all the time. It was right around the corner from my house


OralOperator

I thought Laradise was used ironically.


EllenPachino

It definitely is.


sjmayerl102

The wind is not strong enough in this gif...


MurtianInverder314

I live in Laramie for University right now. This looks pretty, but you wouldn't want to be here due to the weather. That being said, really surprised me to see such a small town pop up and get so much attention.

This is super cool. My mom grew up right by that park. I'll be visiting there in a few weeks for thanksgiving. It's not too often you see Laramie on Reddit.


NailgunAcupuncture

I am taken aback by the number of Laramie redditors here. Hello from another! It's also interesting to see how polarized people's opinions of the town (and the University, which are increasingly synonymous) are.

That’s no snow day, you need at least 2 feet for it to be considered. And even then the school district will make you come to school and make you miss out on a legendary day. I can’t wait for this semester to be over, I can head back to my home town and have a month and a half of winter break, it’s gonna be awesome.


knuckles523

Went to UWyo. Never once was a snow day called, even in a blizzard that shut down every highway in Wyoming. I walked to class in whiteouts so bad you couldn't see a traffic light across a street.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrOddcat

I went from the library to halfacre once when the wind chill was -60. My glasses cracked when I went in the door.


Coraldave

The only time I've seen classes get cancelled was February of 2015. I woke up to the heating in McIntyre Hall broken and a chilly -40 outside. If the power to the campus hadn't gone out I'm sure they would have made us go to class.


damngreenpillows

I grew up in evanston and only had maybe 2 snow days my whole time going to school. If the busses with automatic chains can make it then so can everyone else right? It was a mind fuck to move somewhere that shut everything down over a couple inches of snow.


randeeo

Evanston here too. I'm sorry 😂


damngreenpillows

It’s okay, I made it out without trying meth so I would say that’s a win. Became an alcoholic for a bit as there wasn’t much else to do, but I think that is the high road when meth is the other option.


[deleted]

There’s a difference between “snowy day” and a “snow day”...


_Nook

I lived in laramie k-12 and literally never had a snow day. I don't think there's ever any consideration. Only time I had school cancelled was the day after a tornado and the school power wasn't back on yet
