Just before the Memorial Weekend holiday in 2009, I headed to Rocky Mountain National Park.  It takes a while to plow Trail Ridge Road and open it once again for the season as it tops out over 12,000 feet, however usually by Memorial Day Weekend it is open again connecting Estes Park with Grand Lake.  While they are working on clearing the road you can park and walk up the road, on this evening I did just that and after walking a few miles still didn’t come across the plows just the work they left behind.  A clean road and tall banks of snow.

Sometimes your plans just don’t happen as you hope they would. This was the case this evening when I hiked up Green Mountain in Lakewood to get a shot of Denver and the rising full moon in November 2009. I was in the place I wanted to be, however the clouds to the east prevented the moonrise from being visible at my location. I arrived to the location ahead of time in order to look at the options for the shot I was planning on that evening. In addition to scouting the area, I also had the chance to photograph and as the sun was setting over the Rocky Mountains a trail runner and his dogs came down the path.

Just over a year ago I was out photographing during a snowfall in the Denver area.  It was a quiet evening however one of the exhibits at the Denver Art Museum was attracting patrons even during this weather.  I set-up my tripod at the southern end of the museum complex to photographing the people walking by as well as the city in the background on this winter night in Denver.

Light Rail near Union Station

In late 2010 I was exploring Denver during a late snowfall in the city.  At this time some of the construction in the Union Station area had started near the Millennium Bridge, however if you walked past this it was business as normal.  I started to set up a scene to photograph in hopes the light rail train would depart soon.  Just after framing the picture, the train departed and with a 15 second exposure captured the motion of the train as it headed south.
