Yesterday afternoon, I headed out to Red Rocks. With the recent warm weather, many people had the same idea! Eventually, I found some parking space and headed up one of the trails. Proceeding up the trail, I had just entered the shadow cast by the sun. Moving to just the right spot, I made this image of the silhouette of the tree, with the sun obscured by the skyline.

I proceeded up one of the trails and noticed that in the last few years, many areas had been closed off for restoration. All the areas that I used to visit previously are now closed off! I made my way down the trail, when I heard voices below. I waited until some folks emerged from behind the rock into the S-shaped bend of the trail.

Working down, I eventually arrived at the entrance to the Red Rocks Amphitheater. Here there are three flags, that represent Denver, Colorado and USA.

Below the Grille, is a patio where tables and chairs had been laid out. I created a tight composition that only includes three tables, below.

Scores of people came to visit the amphitheater this afternoon.

Some people came to exercise or run up the steps. Others came to sit and admire the scenery, like this guy.
