The City of Denver is getting close to wrapping up a major revitalization of this iconic corridor. Since most of the project has been completed, locals and visitors alike now have more sitting and shaded areas, greenery, play structures for children, public gathering spots, art installations and what are dubbed as "moments of joy" that encourage people to smile and take pictures.
Free shuttle buses, dubbed the 16th Street Free Ride, travel up and down the street, stopping on every corner. Hop on and hop off as the shuttles come and go every five minutes and make everything downtown easy to reach.
The street is the spine that connects all of downtown, from the city's transportation hub and a locals' favorite hangout, Denver Union Station, at one end to Civic Center Park and the Colorado State Capitol at the other. And just off 16th Street, you'll find major attractions like the Denver Performing Arts Complex within the Denver Theatre District and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (MCA Denver).
It's also easy to get to Larimer Square, Denver’s urban shopping district where Victorian buildings house specialty boutiques and unique chef-driven restaurants. And only three blocks from 16th Street is McGregor Square, which boasts a baseball-themed hotel, chef-driven food hall, shops, restaurants, bars and a large outdoor plaza.

A couple of notes about this image – it's not HDR. I was presented with a blast of sunshine – one of those great moments just before a storm rolls through. The other thing is sometime after I made this exposure, I went to look for architectural information about this project. I discovered that Magda Biernat, SOM's photographer, had stood in exactly the same spot with about the same lens. I found this point of view independently and kudos to Magda Biernat for preceding me in finding this same great composition – Weston's "strongest way of seeing."

Denver Botanical Gardens is one of Denver's Crown Jewels. Absolutely love this stunning gardens! I enjoyed and spent a wonderful morning strolling through the gardens. There are hundreds of different plants to look at. The Water Lily Pond is one of my favorite place in the garden.
An image of cars leaving and going to Denver as a cloud of snow begins to overtake the city. I really liked the haze the snow provided over the city.

A view from Mt Evans Road, (12,000') looking down to Denver (5,280') about 35 miles away, as the crow flies. (If there was a crow and if it flew straight)

Driving to Denver's Union Station on a frigid Saturday morning. It took me a minute to figure out why this image kept bothering me, and then it hit me. This is an incredibly busy intersection and there's not a single car except mine. And only one, lone pedestrian.

This is just the tail end of the main terminal building which was designed by Denver architectural group, Fentress Bradburn Architects. I'm told that from a distance it is supposed to resemble the Rockies. My idea was of "Native American "tepees" however.
A few weeks before the BNSF merger was completed, Burlington Northern's 31st Street Yard in Denver, CO still looked very "BN". A pair of Cascade green SD9s work the yard while a pair of GP38-2s idle in the distance. BN 6228 undoubtedly spent a lot of time in Colorado as it was built for the Colorado & Southern in 1959.

On an afternoon walk through the Bear Creek Park, along Bass Pond, we spied a large group of mainly geese just hanging out on the partial ice cover. Highs for the last week had been at or above freezing so there was shore ice with open water in the center of the pond.
