After The Winter Snow Storm

We had another big storm this week — some 15-inches of snow fell. It was close to sunset on my usual walk through our neighborhood. Passing one house, the tree and grasses in the front yard made some interesting shadows on the snow and siding.

As I reached Harvard Gulch Park, I noticed the tracks in the snow. During the day, many kids had brought their sleds to the park to slide down the slopes. By the time I got there, the sunset had created long shadows on the snow.

This location had construction work during the last few months. The snow covered all the earth works, except for the one flag below.

This tree had been surrounded be a fence, probably to create construction traffic from backing into tree.

There is a tall chimney at one of the buildings in the park. As I walked past, I noticed the almost-full moon hanging in the sky above the chimney. One lady was climbing the slope with her dog.

The Rosedale School is located close to the park. Earlier in the week, I had noticed the detailed stone work on the building. This evening the setting sun had cast an orange glow onto the stone and brick work.

By the time I reached Kunming Park, the sun had set behind the front range, leaving some traces of shadows in the sky. Also, the condensing steam from one of the nearby buildings had created some interesting foreground.

With the clear skies at the end of the day, that night also had another night of below freezing temperatures.
