Yesterday, I headed to downtown, across Cherry Creek from Sunken Gardens Park. After parking the car, it looked like this might be an interesting area to make some images. The following teaser image was made towards the end of the shoot in an alley behind Santa Fe Blvd.

After parking, I made my way across Cherry Creek and picked a street. An apartment block was under construction, where I found these pipe ends. Looks like they are part of scaffolding to support flooring or ceilings.

Meandering through the neighborhood, I found street lights that were lit under dark overcast skies.

The alley ways served as entrances to many parking garages serving apartments. I was intrigued by these two “eyes” looking down at me. The mirrors were located right outside the doors to a garage.

Nearer the art museum was a shuttered building that had some interesting backdoor graffiti.

After circling through some streets, I found myself back near the pipe ends. The street and surrounding sidewalks were covered with markings. Someone must know what all those marks mean!

Later I headed towards the Convention Center and across back to the other side of Cherry Creek heading down Santa Fe Blvd. Here I passed next to “Play and Bark”, a dog boarding house. This mauve/purple color really made this building stand out.

Heading down Santa Fe, I reached the art district. Here is an area where there are many murals in the alleys. The following is the end of the mural that appears on the top of this post.

After heading down the alley, I made my way back to the parked car. Across the street from a school, I found this pair of camping chairs on the porch.I carefully composed this image so that one can see the reflection of the school bus. Also making sure I was not reflected in the window glass.

That was the final image that I made before heading out to the airport to meet Angela on her return flight.
