  • As you climb on Interstate 70 west from Denver you will quickly find yourself in the mountains. After climbing in elevation at the exit for Genesee you are treated to a view of the Rocky Mountains which always gets your attention. After a spring snow storm in Denver I headed up to this spot to capture the scene with snow covered mountains.

  • On a fall evening I ventured to a location above Clear Creek Canyon just prior to sunset. As I watched the sunset over the Rocky Mountains I started photographing the traffic heading through the canyon on a full moon evening. As the traffic made its way through the canyon below the light from the moon illuminated the landscape as the clouds moved through the evening dusk. With a 30 second exposure I was able to capture the movement of the clouds and start to also include in the image the stars as the day ended.

  • During late September of 2006, I was exploring the Colorado mountains and the fall colors. It was quite unexpected but a heavy snowfall also occurred around this time blending the seasons of fall and winter together. As I navigated the mountains in Central Colorado, I started to look at the landscape of the early winter and how the light of September fell onto the mountains. Normally the light we see with the first snowfall is a little later in the season and lights up the mountains in a different manner.

  • In late summer 2009 I took part in a Team in Training event which included a final hike in Rocky Mountain National Park.  As we reached the summit of Hallet Peak, this was the view to the west as a storm quickly began to approach the area.  Noticing this we quickly begun our trek back to the trailhead but not quick enough as some precipitation started to fall including a little snow.

  • 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.

  • I headed up Clear Creek Canyon with a friend who is familiar with the area from his many trips here fishing. As we stopped at a parking area in the dark we climbed up higher to get a perspective over the road. Highway 6 can be busy with traffic heading to the casinos and other mountain locations west of Golden. However at times you can also find a lone car as in this image.

  • As I navigated the roads near Marble, Colorado I came across a lake with calm water. This provided a great surface to capture the reflection of the Rocky Mountains in full fall colors. Just a day prior some early snow fell in the area which still was on the higher peaks in the distance.

  • In September 2008 while visiting Estes Park, I had planned to photograph around Bear Lake one morning. As the first hints of light appeared I was halfway up Bear Lake Road and realized I would be stuck in the clouds. Quickly thinking of some other options, I decided to risk a risk and change locations. Finding a pullout, I headed back down the road and went up Trail Ridge Road where at tree line I emerged from the clouds. Knowing Rainbow Curve was not too far away I made it to the turnoff with about 10 minutes to spare prior to sunrise.

  • While waiting for sunrise at Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park during the fall a light layer of fog filled the valley. With the sounds of elk in the distance we waiting for the sun to rise. However when it did rise this is not what we were expecting. The fog diffused the sun and the rays turned orange. Turning the camera a little I was able to position myself with a tree between myself and the sun for this image as the sunlight filled the park

  • 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.

  • In the spring of 2009 I made by way to Rocky Mountain National Park to photograph along Trail Ridge Road.  The road was still in the process of being cleared for the season and scheduled to open in less than a week.  After photographing up the road a couple of miles I made my way back to my car. Noticing the road leading towards Longs Peak I put down my tripod and captured the image.  With the long exposure of thirty seconds it also caught the city lights of Boulder and Denver lighting up the clouds in the distance.

  • I could have stayed in bed and continued dreaming, however I woke up early and headed to Rocky Mountain National Park and the Bear Lake area. After photographing around Bear Lake at sunrise I hike a little over a mile to Dream Lake. As usual there was a stiff wind, and once I got to Dream Lake it just started to howl. I didn't spend much time around the lake, as this was also a scouting mission for future trips towards Dream Lake later this winter.

  • Denver is known as the Mile High City. When I have talked to people flying into Denver for the first time they expect mountains all around being a mile high, however it is just situated at base of the Rocky Mountains. In the city itself there is a reminder of the altitude from the row of purple seats at Coors Field. However one particular marking is at the State Capitol where engraved on a step leading to the west entrance and looking towards Civic Center Park is the indicator of "One Mile Above Sea Level".

  • I headed to Sloans Lake for some afternoon light on a November afternoon. First stop was photographing the skyline across the lake with a steady breeze blowing. Prior to leaving the lake I checked out some other areas and found some tall grasses backlit blowing in the wind. Letting the sun wash out some of the scene I photographed these with a hint of the Rocky Mountains in the distance prior to the sun dropping behind the mountains to end another day in Denver.

  • 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.

  • Denver International Airport marked twenty years of operations in 2015. This was also the year the new Westin hotel at the airport opened at the south end of the terminal. On a fall evening, I took advantage of clear skies to capture an image of the airport at sunset. From a vantage point on the east side of the airport I waited for the sunset and the lights to come on in the main terminal building. In the distance are the Rocky Mountains and on some of the higher peaks fresh snow blowing with the high winds.

  • At the end of the 2010 season I headed towards Coors Field to photograph around the stadium with the skyline in the background. With the stadium in lower downtown there are plenty of great views of it with the skyline of Denver and from inside you have a great vantage of the Rocky Mountains. Just under six months until the new season.

  • As I was walking past the State Capitol I decided to stop and capture an image of the sunset. I have used this perspective in the past couple of years to capture the change of seasons as well as the morning light against the Rocky Mountains. With the sun setting to the southeast this time of year it allowed a little of a gradient of the darkening evening skies framed by the architecture of the building itself.

  • On Friday February 27, 2009 the Rocky Mountain News published their final edition. The News has been a part of Denver for almost as long as Denver was a city and this final edition marked the end of an era. The final edition which I purchased was placed on the front porch to my house as this is how many people received the paper for many years. Denver is now a one newspaper town, and it will be a different landscape for print news.

  • On the way back from being out I stopped by Rocky Mountain Lake Park and walked near the lake. With some nice afternoon sunlight and the change of seasons on a nice fall day in Denver, I photographed near the lake.

  • I did a day trip to Seward and when there either a cruise to Kenai Fjords National Park or a visit to Exit Glacier should be on your list. I just had time for the latter so I headed to the only part of the park accessible by car. From the parking lot I walked along the trail and up the rocky path to see the glacier. Along the way there are signs showing the change in location of the glacier itself over the years. When heading down the trail I was treated to this view of the runoff from the glacier and the clouds hanging onto the mountains on a rainy Alaska day.

  • Located between the Colorado State Capitol and City and County of Denver Building is Civic Center Park. While not only bridging the gap between the buildings the Greek Ampitheater also serves as a meeting place, and in this instance a welcoming to the City of Denver.<br />

This photograph was taken in 2008, which allows the reminder of the Rocky Mountain News to show on the white building across the park.
