I didn’t have my camera on me when this huge cloud cell east of Denver was looking its coolest (all purples, pinks and grays). When we left the Whole Foods in Cap Hill, dozens of people had filed into the street out of bars, restaurants and homes to look at it. It was a scene straight out of Independence Day. Also, this is my first stitched panorama using hugin, and I’m really happy with the way it turned out. Expect to see many many more of these.

I don’t know who designed the windows on this otherwise nondescript financial house at Lincoln and 16th, but I’ve always been struck by them. It’s like if the Cheshire Cat and David Letterman had a child that somehow became a building.

Look! On the wall! It’s a bird! It’s an American Apparel ad! It’s Sweet B! Lookin’ all hot (and guilty of something).

Is there anything quite so patriotic as a red, white and blue pennyfarthing strapped to the back of a Japanese hybrid car? Spotted between Colo. Springs and Denver on May 17. (Later realized, thanks to the Rocky Mountain News *pic*, that this guy was at the state Democratic convention in the Springs)

The engraving on the City and Covnty Bvilding in Denver. Idea: Let’s jvst change all the “u”s to “v”s for convenience sake.

The main foyer of the Denver Public Library on a sunny afternoon. Even the bathrooms didn’t smell like homelessness today! What a concept!

Well-meaning graffitist tagged the upper corner of the huge mirror in my apartment’s stairwell.

Nothing says, “Hey world, I can afford a permanent marker,” like drive-through graffiti at an A & W.

I see an average of five personalized license plates daily in my Denver travel dabblings. This isn’t the best one by a long shot, but it’s the first I’ve had my camera on hand for.
