Denver Downtown Architecture

Yesterday, I was inspired by some monochrome images in black and white. I made the trip downtown to find some architectural subjects that may work as black and white images. The target location was Auraria Campus. Leaving the light rail station at the Convention Center, I passed by the Theater Arts Center, that has arched roof composed of white structural members. With the blue skies, this creates a great contrast of light and dark.

Switching to a longer lens, I made a detailed image of the white arches.

After crossing Speer Blvd, I reached the campus. One of the campus libraries has shades over the windows, probably to reduce the glare and heat from the afternoon sun, that I captured in this image

Several buildings have glass brick walls.

As I as leaving the campus, I noticed that windows on this building creating an eye-catching repeating pattern along the wall.
