  • On a fall afternoon in Denver I headed out to City Park to photograph at sunset. Being just past the autumnal equinox the light was still behind the city skyline as I waited for sunset. Taking advantage of this afternoon light I composed by scene and let the light flow into the background which provided a source to backlight the city as well as the trees within the park.

  • Snow was plentiful early in the winter 2012/13 season. When it finally snowed in Denver I grabbed my camera and headed out into the elements. This was the largest amount of snowfall which fell from one storm at this in the season making for much excitement to finally receive a good snowfall in the metro area. While I have some photographs of Washington Park and Sloans Lake in the snow, City Park is a park I have tried to capture in the past. Walking back to the area my car was parked I noticed the curve of the lake and trees in the elements which I thought would be the perfect opportunity to capture a winter scene in City Park to compliment the scenes from the other Denver parks.

  • On a windy spring day I was able to head up to the clock tower of East High School, which is the oldest high school in Denver but not the oldest school building. The original East High School at 19th and Stout was demolished in 1925. The East High School building has a clock tower modeled after Independence Hall in Philadelphia. This tower sits 162 feet high and provides views of the Denver area from the location of the school near City Park. For this image I took some steps backs to include the lines and shadows entering the tower to provide a feel for the space in the building.

On this day I captured downtown Denver using the windows to frame the city making it slightly out of focus with a shallow depth of field.

  • Upon landing back in Denver it appeared the clouds were lining up for a dramatic sunset in the mile high city. As I was driving home I was thinking about a couple of locations to take advantage of this light and came up with City Park due to time concerns. About a half hour prior to sunset everything was still looking great in the sky and as I quickly stopped home they mentioned it on the early news that it could be a colorful sunset once again. However in the next thirty minuted conditions started to change and the dramatic which was expected did not occur. Out at the park I came across another photographer who thought that the colors could be good this evening as well. The one thing which you have to do is get out and photograph. I waited past sunset to get some of the dusk light making the skyline of Denver stand out from City Park.

  • With some wildfires just southwest of Denver I headed out to City Park in early October to photograph the skyline at sunset. Sometimes the light smoke at the areas will give a little more orange during sunset than normal and this was the case with this image. From my position in City Park I was able to position the setting sun at the Wells Fargo Building (Cash Register) and the mountains. Taking the image towards the sun also allowed me to silhouette the skyline of the city as well as the mountain skyline in the distance.

  • In the summer here in Denver there is plenty of outdoor activity at City Park.  As I made my way through the park I had plenty of runners and bicyclists pass by and approaching the center of the park I noticed this cyclist pass as the employees who rent bicycles started to bring items out for the day along this sweeping path.

  • Spring snowstorms provide some great contrast in the Denver of winter and spring. Walking around City Park I found this group of trees showing their blossoms as the snow provided a winter covering on them. With the snow continuing the fall it wasn't long until the trees were fully covered in heavy snow on their branches.  This snow didn't last long as the temperatures started to warm up again during the week quickly making the snowstorm a memory to look back at in pictures and memories.

  • Over the weekend a fair amount of spring snow fell over Denver. With the warm temperatures many trees were already showing their blossoms which made for a nice scene to photograph. I headed out in the City Park area with my camera to capture some of these scenes. As I walked through the park I quickly found trees with red or white blossoms as well as trees already showing their leaves for the summer season. These colors made for an interesting contrast to the black, grey and white normally you would find in the winter.

  • The City Park Criterium is held each year in Denver's City Park. For a good portion of the day races of varying levels took place around the park on either the long or short course for a set duration of time. The long course provides a scenic view of the boat house, city and mountains as the cyclists speed past. Due to some late season snow there is still snow on the peaks of the higher mountains. As the cyclists went past I used a shutter speed to show the movement of these riders in the event as they passed the location.

  • One late spring I headed to City Park in Denver to photograph around the park.  As I walked near the pavilion in the park I noticed the fence along Ferril Lake in the park.  Leaning over the fence I captured the image of the pavilion in the park with the tower of East High School in the distance.

  • Photographing and living in Denver has its benefits since I can visit the same areas over and over easily and watch them change. On this visit to City Park I went to a familiar spot and zoomed into the city a little to capture the fresh grass of spring at the park on this spring day in Denver.

  • As I was heading home from the airport I noticed the minimal clouds over the mountains and thought it could be an interesting sunset over Denver as I heard had been the case the past couple of days. It was a quick turnaround from when I got home to making it out to City Park in Denver. Upon arriving at the park I found a location on the golf course (watching out for golfers on this warm November day) and waited for sunset to occur. At first it appeared the clouds may be a little better north of my location but just after that thought this occurred making it a great sunset over the Mile High City of Denver.

  • Denver is the Mile High City and in some places in town you will see mention of this elevation. Whether it is on the steps of the Colorado state capitol, a row of seats at Coors Field, designations on the side of some buildings or a marker along a trail in City Park it is something residents in Denver are proud of having in this city. This image is exactly one of these markers in City Park along a trail as people enjoy the park just west of downtown Denver.

  • A couple of years ago I headed to City Park to capture the morning light in the park. This morning it turned to be foggy in the park and provided a new perspective to capture the city skyline through the park. While the fog provided a new perspective it was also the morning dew rising from the grass which drew me in to this image as well.

  • As I was driving on 16th Avenue, I looked ahead and noticed Denver East High School in the distance. This drew my eye and at first I was thinking the clocktower would be the subject an image I would capture, however as I started to photograph the facade of the building the detail here is what I focused on instead. While East High School opened in 1875 and was the first high school in Denver, the current location was not built until 1924 as noted at the top of the facade.

  • Located about a mile east of Downtown Denver, City Park provides an opportunity to photograph the nature of the park, the skyline as well as the mountains. On this occasion, I headed to the City Park Golf Course to find a good spot to capture the scene. As I headed to a tee box on the golf course I found a tree which helped mirror the skyline which also helped frame the city.

  • As you walk through City Park there are great views of the city of Denver due to the proximity of the city to park. This is also true on the golf course, and on an early spring day I went to one of the more popular view of the city. For this image I decided to do something a little different and took the image as a vertical while also including the flag for the hole. The tall vertical of the flag worked well with two of the taller buildings in Denver in the background before heading beyond to the mountains.

  • You never know what to expect when spring is around in Denver, it could be 70 degrees one day and snow the next.  With this variety this makes it a great time to photograph around the city as the variety in color and potential for the snow in the city or mountains remains. On this day I was photographing around City Park and decided to make my way towards the golf course where I found trees in full bloom. Using this as a foreground I framed the city of Denver behind and naturally the mountains as well for this image.

  • It has been dry and clear most days in the last few weeks in Denver, with these clear skies I headed to City Park to see how this translated at sunset. From the golf course I watched the sun descend over the mountains and the orange and blue colors light become the backdrop over the city. While there has been quite a bit of growth in the city the last few years however from City Park it is not as noticeable from here as it is in other views of the skyline.
