As I walked away from Harpa I looked back and noticed the walls of patterns climbing and the light coming through the structure. Just by moving a little I was able to position the light in a spot to get this effect as the structure just allowed a little hint of light. With the sun not taking over the sun it allowed me to capture the details of the building and the varying patterns.

One summer I met up with some friends near Marble, Colorado and spent a weekend exploring the high country in the area. The valley between the mountains were filled with wildflowers and we spent many hours photographing and exploring the area. As I was photographing some flowers below, I looked up and saw this scene. Two flowers above all the others with a crisp blue sky behind them. Moving just a little I start to capture this scene which was above me prior to moving onto the next area of flowers.

It was 2011 when I captured this image of Union Station from Commons Park at dusk.
It doesn’t seem like it was eight years ago when I took this image, especially when you see this image taken from the same spot eight years later.
Quite a difference!
You may first notice the building which is blocking the view of Union Station and beyond. However this is just the first of three buildings blocking the view, all of them of course built in the last few years. The Union Station redevelopment has filled in much of the area left behind when the train yards were reduced in size and have added apartments and office space in their place, essentially building a new part of town in just a few years.
What I first noticed between the two images were the height of the trees and the growth they made since first planted. In a few years these would also be blocking some of the view of the image which was first taken in 2011.
As the day moves to afternoon at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve the wind picks up. With the wind starting to blow those lines which were led to the distance start to be obscured with the blowing sand from the gusty wind. These winds are quite common at the sand dunes based on the location of the park in the Alamosa valley and is also how they initially formed.

During late September of 2006, I was exploring the Colorado mountains and the fall colors. It was quite unexpected but a heavy snowfall also occurred around this time blending the seasons of fall and winter together. As I navigated the mountains in Central Colorado, I started to look at the landscape of the early winter and how the light of September fell onto the mountains. Normally the light we see with the first snowfall is a little later in the season and lights up the mountains in a different manner.

As the City of Denver continues to grow more and more buildings are appearing in the building. A new building on 15th Street has changed the skyline. I first noticed this view of the D&F Tower and the Four Seasons shortly after the latter was built. With the newest building in between the two it gives three varying styles of architecture with the oldest and newest built over 100 years apart.

One spring I was visiting the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve near Alamosa, Colorado. I was exploring the dunes prior to the wind picking up late one afternoon. Using my wide angle lens and getting low to the surface I wanted to bring a scene which a person could easily step into the image and place themselves on the dunes.

What I like about this image is the abstract feel of the sand which I captured. The shallow depth of field helps obscure the real perspective of the size of the sand in the image. This allows the viewer to come to their own conclusion of the scene and allows them to interpret it in their own manner which can also change over time.
