Gallery Crawl

First Fridays in the Sante Fe Art District 

Just some of the eye candy that caught my attention during an all-to-brief gallery crawl along Sante Fe Street in the Denver art district.

Denver - Black and White and in Color

Waiting for the bus at Nine Mile Station, Aurora, CO.

I would have liked to get a copy of the Denver Post, but unfortunately it doesn't look like they stock these newspaper bins much anymore.

Our train arrives for the trip into the city.

Blue Bear looking in the window of the Denver Convention Center.

Light rail stop at the Theater District Station.  From here we would walk around the downtown area for several hours.

What a job!  Just driving around all day long.

People watching.

It's kind of hard to miss somebody riding a bicycle with hot pink rims and handlebars.

Looking up Stout Street.  We were really surprised that there was no one on board the train to check your ticket.  Seems they're very trusting in Denver.

La Boheme Gentlemen's Cabaret which is a big city way of saying strip club.

What can I say.  I guess she didn't want me to take her picture.

Denver Gas and Electric Building
I didn't know it at the time that I shot this picture but the black squares in the walls have lights in them and at night it really makes the building shine.

One man band on the 16th Street pedestrian mall.

So much eye candy, so few hours in a day.

Contemplation

According to an article in the Denver Post, there are seventeen pianos along the 16th Street pedestrian mall and all have a different paint scheme.

One last shot of the downtown area while waiting for our bus.

The last four shots for this week's blog were shot along Sherman Street.  Every apartment building on this block is named for a famous writer and the area is known as Poets Row.

Welcome to Golden

Colorado's First State Capitol

Table Mountain Inn on Washington Avenue.

Looking at the Coors Plant from downtown Golden.

Almost anything of importance is on Washington Avenue.

Table Mountain overlooks downtown Golden, CO.

This horse stands out in front of Spirit in the Wind, an art gallery.

This hand-carved wooden Indian chief shows the wear and tear of the summer in Colorado.  Tourists like to pose and have their photograph taken with the statue.

Clear Creek History Park

Dirt paths run through the park to help illustrate how things looked in the early pioneer days in Golden.

Looking across Clear Creek from beside the library back towards the history park.

Clear Creek is a popular tubing and kayaking area that runs through Golden.

Man overboard.
