Colorado History Fail
Seeking a photo op for the Denver Digital Photography Meetup group's September photo contest on the theme of Colorado History, I rode down to see if I could get some pics of the Highlands Ranch Mansion, a rare gem of history in the otherwise bleak, McMansioned landscape of this southern suburb of Denver.
I read beforehand that it was owned by Shea Homes and was not open to the public, but I thought for sure I'd at least have a photo-worthy view of the place. Wrong. :P To add insult to injury, the mansion was open just last weekend for a tour, yet of course I only found this out exactly one week too late. Doh!
At least I now know it exists and can keep my eyes open for other opportunities to tour this interesting historical site.
