This Sunday was a warm spring-like day in Denver. People downtown were enjoying the sunny day before a snow forecast for tomorrow. Close to Union Station is this sign, with a message “Being a Coloradan Means… 300 Days of Sunshine”.
Sunny, 300 Days Of Sunshine
Heading down to the Platte River, looking down from the bridge, a couple had just finished taking selfies by the water.
Couple By The Platte River
After meandering through the Commons area, I returned to the Platte River, where these two bridge pillars were catching the late afternoon sunlight. A few minutes later, this lady was walking her dog. Perfect, just waiting till she was framed by the pillars…
Walking The Dog Along The Platte River
Sitting by the riverside, another lady was watching the river flow past. I found a spot, where the buildings were reflected in the water, for this image.
Sitting Along The Riverside
On the other bank, reflections from the sunlit tower block was broken up by ripples on the river.

Later, while heading back towards the station, there are rod sculptures, reaching for the sky. I setup the camera among the rods, aiming up the rods for this image.
Reaching For The Sky
This corner of the apartment building had one room looking out over the station. This was in striking contrast to the deep blue sky.
Room At The Top
While crossing the bridge, I stopped near the fence to make an image of the fence posts. Just then, beyond my focus point, two boys moved into the frame to take a peek through the fence. I was lucky to make this image before they ran off.
Looking Through The Fence
The area around Union Station is under extensive construction, with cranes visible on the skyline. In the following two images, I was drawn to reflections of a red crane that contrasted against the blue sky reflected in the buildings windows.
Reflections In Red
Here is another viewpoint of the same red crane.

Let’s see what tomorrow’s snow forecast looks like…
