Then and Now: Winter at Wings over the Rockies

By

Just after Christmas in 2014 I visited Wings over the Rockies at Lowry. The museum has a B-52 Bomber which is on the former Lowry Air Force Base, For this year lights were put out to decorate the airplane and with fresh snow it was the perfect opportunity to capture the holiday season.

This was the only year which this was done as the the decorations did not sit well with the owners of the aircraft.

Seven years later during a light snowstorm in the Denver area, I revisited this location to capture the B-52 in front of the museum. On this visit the lights were not on the aircraft, but could be found on the trees around the hangar.

It is quite different without the lights on the plane itself, however for one year we did get to see the aircraft decorate for the holidays.

Grant Park Modern View

Growing up in the Chicago area it is always interesting to revisit the city to see how it has changed over the years. As I remember visiting Grant Park in my youth and also in my college years as my parents lived downtown, I can easily see the old blending in with the new around the city. This building is the Blue Cross Blue Shield Tower just north of the park. What is interesting for this building is that it was completed and then a few years later built upon itself to the current structure we see today. Looking at the building it is not apparent this took place at all. The metal on the building contrasting with the blue and aqua provides the interest to me and the focus of the details on the building.

October Sunrise in Denver

October Sunrise in Denver

Over the years I have captured the skyline of Denver at sunrise many times. Each time is special on its own as the start of a new day begins, however on this morning the clouds added to the scene providing some interesting color as a backdrop to the expanding Denver skyline.

Lines and Patterns of Chicago Architecture

Taken from the Prudential Building in Chicago during Open House Chicago, I found the facade of the building led to the Crain Communications Building at Michigan and Randolph. The lines and patterns on these buildings worked together in this image capturing the architectural details found in Chicago.

Crossing the Bridge

Crossing the Bridge

Exploring Lower Downtown Denver I captured this image heading back to my car. I had crossed this former railroad bridge over Cherry Creek countless times, but this was the first time I looked at the details of the bridge through my lens. Lining up the various steel elements it brings in a lot of history into this image and in the distance how the ivy has started to cover the pieces of the bridge as well.
