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<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading further north, I passed under the Speer Blvd bridge over the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this final image, the low sun lit up the various towers and rides in Elitch Gardens. The colors were reflected in the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After walking for 3 miles, I got back to the car and was glad to take a break for my feet!
