With the warmer winter weather the past few weeks I headed out towards the airport. It was an evening when aircraft were taking off to the north which allowed me to get a little closer then when I did a similar image in 2008 south of the airport. Waiting for the aircraft is always the most challenging part as you are not always certain where the aircraft will turn as the frame is open for a long exposure. This image is a thirty second exposure as the plane starts to turn to the east just after take-off.  With just some clouds in the sky the stars are visible as they begin to show their motion with this length of exposure.

As I have done for the past few years on the first morning of 2015 I headed out to Speer and Zuni to capture the first sunrise of 2015 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.  This year a few other photographers were also at the vantage point commonly used to capture the skyline of the Mile High City.

Just after the first of the year a significant snowfall came into the Denver area. With this snowfall I took advantage of photographing the B52 outside Wings of the Rockies.  This was the first year holiday lights were placed on this large aircraft.  As I arrived to the location just prior to dusk I look at some vantage points and then started photographing as it got dark, at time fighting with the heavy snow coming down right into the camera lens. This was a nice addition to the Denver holiday lights list this year and hopefully it will return in upcoming years as well.

On Christmas in 2014 once I headed out to Golden just after the snow started falling the afternoon. Being at some friends not far from Golden I was almost there already so it seemed to be a good decision. The drive out to Golden was quite interesting as the snow was coming down fast at times with the wind blowing. Upon arriving in Golden I was treated to a fresh blanket of snow and plenty of holiday lights. As I was exploring some lights in the distance on a tree I found the bridge and later this vantage point along Clear Creek which was a great spot to capture a snowy Christmas in the Denver area.

As construction has continued around the Union Station area there is this view of the Davita Building which still remains, for now.  I have been drawn to this perspective as it allows for a simple look at the lines of the building and the perspective of Millennium Bridge in Denver.  On this day a couple of weeks ago there was a light snowfall in the city which allows the blueish hue of the building to standout on the overcast day in the city.
