Our last Mt Evans sunrise

November 26, 2011 12:00 am PST

I've finally (almost) caught up from our move from one side Denver to the other. Finally, I've had a chance to set up my office, and download images from a card that's been in the camera for weeks. This photo of Mt Evans was on the card, and it turns out it's probably the last sunrise photo of Mt Evans I'll take from such a great vantage point

We are only one block from City Park which also has a view of Mt Evans, and the downtown skyline as well, but it's just not the same as waking up, seeing a great sunrise out the window, stepping on to the balcony, and getting a great shot. While I'm exciting about our new location, I will miss the view.

Mt Evans' Sunrise

The sunrise after a day of snow is always beautiful. This morning's was no exception. The key is getting up before sunrise. Of course it's pretty easy to do as we head towards winter, when the sun doesn't rise until after 7am.

Now we get to enjoy a few hours of snow and sun before it all melts away.

As we close in on the end of our time with a view like this, I become more and more obsessed with photographing any interesting view of Mt. Evans. Fortunately yesterday morning provided a rather nice sunrise.

Of course today it snowed, and while it's beautiful in it's own right, I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to see Mt. Evans at all. Just now, the clouds have lifted enough to begin exposing the foothills, including Green Mtn. If Mt. Evans does come out, I'll be ready.

This photo of Spaceley Sprockets was taken in 2002.

I was reminded of this area of Detroit, along the riverfront, after talking to another former Michigander. We were reminiscing about the City, and somehow got on the topic of this particular area.

The area was to be the permanent home for Detroit's casinos. The current locations of the casinos were to be temporary, and in order to make way for this grand riverfront development, a lot of good businesses had to close. I don't know if this was one or not, but the Soup Kitchen Saloon, and the Rhinoceros Club were.

APM Marketplace

On Monday I was interviewed by Kai Ryssdal for American Public Media's Marketplace program, which was quite a highlight for me as I listen to the show on a daily basis. I was a bit nervous, but all in all, I think it turned out pretty well.
