The hustle and bustle of this busy rail yard is so inviting. The beauty of Union Station built in 1891 is being restored. I would love to hear the stories it holds.
I do know downstairs in the basement is a huge model train layout. Each First Friday of the month the club opens up to the public. One day soon I will take my train loving Grandsons for a visit. I know they will be watching in wide-eyed amazement.
Soon, very soon I must do this.
The moon was supposed to be gigantic this night, it may very well have been but it was obscured by the clouds. No worries, despite my lack of proper warm clothes for night shooting I stood on the hill waiting for the darkness to fall.
It was worth the wait. Denver lights up very nice at night.
The City of Denver has been making a conscience effort to connect neighborhoods with recreation trails and bridges. Obviously it’s working. This bridge is a busy foot/bike path that connects NW Denver with the Riverfront and Lodo.
If you look at this as I do and sing the Little Mermaid tune “Under the Sea” you too will drive yourself crazy!
Found under the Speer bridge by Confluence Park, this mural is one of many master pieces dwelling on the concrete. I find such art amazing considering the medium on which is drawn.
How do they do it?
Crowds line the streets as we wait for the National Western Parade to begin. This year we were enjoying balmy weather instead of the normal chilly January winds!
During the National Western Parade, I said, “say cheese” and the horse gave me a nice smile showing his not so pearly whites!
Oh cool is that?
The spotlight focuses on the Rodeo Queen as we stand at attention singing the National Anthem.
Cowboys, cowgirls, horses, bulls, rodeo clowns and Old Glory….how much more authentic American can we get?
My spine tingles.
After the light show, after the fireworks they torch the ground setting it ablaze! As the fire dies down, the spotlight focuses on the real stars of the show, the Professional Bull Riders!
Yahoo, ridem’ cowboys!
It’s goosebump time!
The Professional Bull Riders Show begins when the house lights go out. There’s a boom a bang and a pop! It’s all enough to make you jump out of your skin! But that’s only the beginning…wait a minute!
