A Herd of Buffalo



Denver has one of the more successful Urban Malls, shown here along 16th Street.  It is also apparently home to a herd of Urban Buffalo.........

Final Taste of Colorado


View of the Civic Center Park

 
Long view of the Denver City County Building.

Colorado has several ways in which a town can be incorporated.  It gets pretty complicated,  but one type is the City-County.  Denver is both a City and a County and has some kind of combined governing structure.  Since I don't live there I haven't bothered to delve into the details, but there is a Wikipedia entry on Colorado City Charters.

More From A Taste of Colorado


Of Course food tasting is the objective.  But we decided to take a pass on Famous Dave's Chocolate covered Bacon.

I was told that their BBQ is very good though.

More Warm Summer Thoughts

It snowed a bit today.  Just a dusting and nothing to photograph.  So let's continue with more warm summer thoughts.  There will be plenty of opportunities to revist winter between now and the end of March.

The Taste of Colorado, held at the Civic Center in downtown Denver, is the big end of summer festival:


The Civic Center is a Prak and Colonade area between the State Capitol Building and the Denver City-County Building.  Here a veiew across the park towards the Capitol.

 

And a closer view of the Denver City-County Building.


These Photos were taken with a Lomo Plastic Fisheye Camera.  There is a whole world of Plastic camera Fanaticism out there.  Just search on Lomography and see what you find.

Take the Long Way Home


Welcome to Night Moves my adventures in Night-time photography, as I share my less than wonderful 60 minute commute home, along Wadsworth Boulevard.

In December it was well into night time by 5:30 PM.
