One of the newest buildings in the downtown Denver area is Block 162. This thirty story office building sits across from the Hyatt and not too far from the Colorado Convention Center. When looking at the building straight on you see into the building through the glass wall. However when viewing this from an angle the lines of the exterior wall tell a different story on the exterior facade as seen here.
One Tabor Center
One Tabor Center in Denver is a building which is noticed when you are in the Lower Downtown area. The colors and range of materials on the facade of the building gives you a different look of the building when you are viewing it from different directions. On an early morning in the city I looked up the street I was crossing and noticed how the light was giving it almost a drawing or sketch look with diffused light. With a long lens I was able to just capture the facade of the building to document this moment.
Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen
On my last night in Copenhagen I walked around the city and around the exterior of Tivoli Gardens. Earlier in my trip I spent some time inside the gardens and amusement park which first opened in 1843. From the outside I was able to photograph the outside including the detail of this building built over one hundred years ago. Looking at the building I wanted to document the details of the building as I had done of the Tivoli Building in Denver not too long ago as well. As the day was starting to turn into dusk, the lights of the building are starting to shine adding to the scene.
Tivoli Brewing Company Building
Now serving as the Student Union for the Auraria Campus, the Tivoli Brewery Company building was originally built in 1882 and continued brewing until 1969. Since then the building sat vacant, was a movie theater and for the past ten is home for the a revived Tivoli Brewing Co. On a Sunday morning as I was walking around downtown I ventured to the Auraria Campus and noticed the soft light on the building. This allowed a straight on perspective of the building to be photographed showing the details of the building which is on the National Register of Historical Places.
Memorial Day Weekend
The unofficial start of summer is coming up, however we should also remember that it is Memorial Day Weekend as well. This is a time for us to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to our country. If you have a chance to stop by Fort Logan National Cemetery in southwest Denver, there will be a flag at each grave stone put their by volunteers.
