This bucolic scene is actually wedged between Inverness Tech Center and the sprawling community of Parker. Looking at it one would think there wasn’t another soul around for miles.
Douglas County does a good job protecting open space.

Twenty-some miles south of Denver proper, is a Denver Park, Daniel’s Park. This wonderful place is situated high on a hill where buffalo still roam (albeit not freely) and the sunsets decorate the sky with a different show every night.
The best news is, the show is free.
Enjoy.
The sun goes down earlier up in them there hills! Lucky me, I get to see it when out showing property. This scene was all too tempting.
I wish sunsets could last longer. Of course if they did we might not appreciate them as much.
Enjoy.
Sunsets prove to be an inspiring show, no matter where you are in the world. Colorado offers such a vast array of sunsets from urban to the prairies and the plains.
I captured this on last night as the sky was contemplating thunder showers. The good weather won out, even though a little rain would be nice to clear the smoky air.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
In this composition I was struck by the variety of arches and angles. I see the vanishing point of the power lines, the arch of the 15th Street Bridge, the gentle roll of steel at Mile High Stadium and the not so gentle turn of Elich’s Roller Coaster and the stomach-sinking vertical drop of the Needle.
Oh my!
Sunsets are not predictable. Sometimes they are awesome and other times the sun goes down quickly leaving no trace lest dissipating heat. Then there are the times when you think you missed the good one, only to find you are rewarded for waiting an extra few minutes.
The sun’s message; “never give up.”
Colorado Springs is home to one of the most beautiful City Parks one could ever expect to find, The Garden of the Gods. This magnificent place was formed a few million years ago with red rocks jutting out of the ground. Combined with juniper trees, pine and many varieties of wildlife, the place is truly a wonderful garden bound delight everyone who visits.
My favorite time is just before the sun crests the horizon. Twilight is the time of the richest color. When the sun finally hits the red rocks they turn into a fiery blaze of color.
