This week, it was time for another visit downtown. Near Union Station, the low sun cast streetlamp shadows on an adjacent building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading across Commons Park, to the Platte River, I found this snowmen family. We had a snow storm earlier this week, with a few inches of snow in the city. Just after making this image the big guy on the right collapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From here, I headed towards the Highland Bridge, over I-25. Time for some more window reflections in the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this bridge, I was greeted by a young lady, offering high fives to passers by. I obliged and then made my way across. Next to the bridge abutment on the far side, was an artist hard at work with a sketch pad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this side of the highway, one can see Mile High Stadium, where the Broncos were playing football today. I tried to find a location where I could make an image of the stadium. Unfortunately, the skyline was very cluttered, so I abandoned that idea. I headed back over the highway on a different bridge. Several runners passed by on the wet sidewalk. I managed to capture an reflection of the last runner, just as the bus was pulling away from the bus stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were still trees with their autumn colors. These colors were reflected in the Platte River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pedestrian had started crossing the adjacent bridge on foot. I waited until he had walked into the open space for this image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun was about to start setting. I found one cloud that was catching the sunset light above this building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I got nearer to Union Station, the sunset colors became more intense. This apartment block was bathed in sunset light, reflected from the base of the clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crossing to the other side of the Millennium Bridge, the sun created its own fire in the sky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could hear the light rain train approaching Union Station. As I got closer, it was my ride back home. Time to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
