One of the great things about living in a city is the characters you stumble upon. This daper man was out strolling on a beautiful sunny February day downtown.
He strolled with purpose and confidence. I wonder what his story is. How that hat makes him feel. Where he was coming from or going to. Where he's originally from and where he'd rather be.

Just When the snow starts to melt...
Its supposed to start snowing again. I took this picture of a gutter downtown. It was so warm the snow was melting really fast creating a real flood of water as you can tell by the splash you see in the photo.

Denver Restaurant Week
Today is the start of Denver Restaurant Week. It is a seven-day celebration of the culinary scene in Denver. For the week of Feb. 23-29, 2008, participating restaurants will offer a multi-course dinner for the fixed price of $52.80 for two, or $26.40 for one (not including tax or gratuity). 5280 is a reference to our altitude 5,280 feet or 1 mile...hence the mile high city.

Larimer Square Clock
One of my other loves besides old buildings is clocks. I photograph them where ever I go. This clock is at Larimer Square in the LODO (lower downtown) neighborhood of Denver. Its a cool area with lots of great shops and restaurants and of course my favorite old buildings mixing with new.

Spring Fever
With the recent crazy weather (65 and sunny one day 18 and snowing the next) I'm not sure when we'll get to see actual blooms. I took this one looking through the window at Z gallerie on Larimer Square.

Spring is in the air.
I took this photo last spring at the Garden of the Gods outside of Denver. Since the last two days have been quite lovely and spring fever is in full swing for most people I know I thought I'd share the warmth.
Today its supposed to be 57...YEAH...but wait...in typical Denver fashion tomorrow is supposed to be 27 with snow. Ain't it wonderful. What is the thing in your part of the world that is unique...odd...that no one would ever know?

Lofts
Denver has been taking old buildings, especially old commercial buildings and turning them into cool lofts, residential lofts, office lofts, and work live spaces. These lofts off of Blake and Market street look really cool from the outside...I'd love to see them from the inside.
The reclaiming of these old buildings is really important to keeping the history and feel of Denver or any other city in tact. After living in Europe for six months its clear that Americans really have the market cornered on tearing down beautiful old structures to make way for new, "vanilla" ones. UGH!

Football
To all of those missing American Football this first Sunday after the Super Bowl...here is a shot I took yesterday looking at the home of the Denver Broncos from Blake and Market Streets. It was a beautifully clear day. Nothing like a mountain view with your football.

Rocky Mountain Seed Company
If you haven't guessed by now...I love old buildings. The more crumbly the better. The great thing about Denver is that you get the old with the new. This building is right at Larimer Square...but I'm afraid it will soon be gone as the RMSC has signs saying they have moved. It was such a beautiful day today (almost 60 degrees) and everyone was out and about...sitting outside enjoy the spring like day...beating away the winter blues.

More History
I just moved back to Denver after 20 years in Southern California. When I came back from 4 months in Europe I could just not stand the vanilla-ness of Orange County any longer, the new-ness. So I decided to come back to Denver...not exactly Europe but there is at least history here. Buildings that are older than I am. Like this old barn. I am fascinated by the simpleness that creates art...they obviously never intended this to be beautiful when they built it. But it is. This week I am highlighting all my recent "barn" work.

Mining
Colorado used to be a big mining state. Up and down I-70 you can see the remnants of this history.
