A few years ago after a Saturday snowstorm I headed to Sloans Lake in Denver to photograph at sunrise. When I got to the lake in below freezing temperatures the steam was rising from the lake. Positioning myself for sunrise I wait to the morning light to pick up more of this steam with the City of Denver in the background from just west of downtown.

Clear Creek Canyon Under Full Moon
Recently I have started photographing in the evening with the goal of building on the body of work which started with Aircraft Departing. A couple of weeks ago, I was looking down at Clear Creek Canyon just prior to sunset and noticed the visible road. Later that evening I visited the same location and captured the scene under a full moon with some of the twilight still apparent on the horizon. This is a 30 second image with the moon light allowing the detail of the mountains to show in the image.

The leader of 2013 USA Pro Cycling Challenge crosses the light rail tracks in downtown Denver during the final stage that year. Tejay van Garderen is in the yellow jersey and will go onto to win the race this year.
While photographing along Speer during one of the riders laps along the course I got low along the tracks letting that be a leading line for the image which I captured. The riders are at the far side of the street in this image as this is the smoothest crossing location.
The USA Pro Cycling Challenge is no longer around, however there are hopes for a shorter stage race during the summer of 2017 in Colorado.

A couple of years ago during Doors Open Denver I visited Saint John’s Cathedral just outside of downtown Denver. The access to the location where this image was taken was through a small stairwell which was pretty much one way traffic, but worth the climb for the different perspective. The current cathedral was built from 1909-1911.
This weekend, April 23rd and 24th, in Denver this annual will give you access to locations you would not normal be able to view throughout Denver either on your own or through more in depth insider tours.

The NFL playoffs are in full swing with the AFC Championship game here in Denver this coming Sunday, where the Denver Broncos will play the New England Patriots. Numerous buildings in Denver have been changed to show orange and blue in the evening. A couple of years ago I photographed the Daniels & Fisher Tower in holiday colors sporting the orange and blue colors of the Broncos.

A couple of years ago I made my way out to photograph near Sports Authority Field at Mile High here in Denver as the Broncos regular season was coming to a close. As the stadium was rebranded in the past year to Sports Authority Field new lighting has also been added to the exterior providing some nice accent lighting to what had been there in the past. When the game let out after a win against Cleveland dusk moved in leading to this image along the interstate. This weekend the stadium will be packed as the Broncos take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional Playoffs.

On this last day of 2015, I look at an image I took on the first morning of 2015 as I headed out to Speer and Zuni to capture the first sunrise of the year over Denver. With clear skies this year I waited for the sun to rise to capture the light peaking through the skyline of Denver on a chilly morning. To start 2015, a few other photographers were also at the vantage point commonly used to capture the skyline of the Mile High City.

It was just over four years when on the way home at one of the most popular locations to obtain an evening skyline photograph of Denver. For a while it was only myself and a news truck from one of the location television stations. The reason for stopping to get this image as it was the first night the new CenturyLink logo was illuminated over the city of Denver. In the past month the Qwest name and blue beacon had been removed with the new company name lifted into place.
