Yesterday, I continued on my South Platte River images. I continued making images north of the I-25 bridge that was the subject of a previous visit. Elitch Gardens was busy, with many people enjoying the thrills of the rides. I made this image of the towers from some of the rides. This one works best in monochrome.
Heading further north, I passed under the Speer Blvd bridge over the river.
Commons Park is close by this location. In the park are these stairs. I never see many people making use of this feature! It seems that people prefer to make use of the trail running through the park, or climbing the adjacent lawned hill!
Farther along the river I crossed to the west bank of the river. Heading back on this side of the river, I found these globes embedded in a low wall.
Here we are back under the Speer Blvd bridge. By this time, the sun had dropped below the cloud back, to light up the underside of the bridge. I included the orange float in a composition that showed the reflections of the bridge steel work in the river.
In this final image, the low sun lit up the various towers and rides in Elitch Gardens. The colors were reflected in the river.
After walking for 3 miles, I got back to the car and was glad to take a break for my feet!
