Default Denver in the Distance

I have been in a slump lately and am having a hard time getting motivated. I did go for a ride this weekend though and snapped a shot of Denver. This is the view from White Ranch Open Space park.

Nice view! Surely there'll be plenty of wildflowers to shoot soon. I'm looking forward to seeing them.

I remember coming through Denver for the 1st time many years ago and from the east and I remember how it totally threw my perception. Here I was driving through miles of plains and it was flat and plain and I had this romanticized view that Denver was nestled up in the hills of the Rockies......wrong!! I remember seeing a sign...Denver 10 miles....still couldn't see the city but we were definitely more than 10 miles from the mtns. And then it appeared and I was like..."that's it??" Man, I was disappointed! It was a pretty city but just wasn't located where I thought it might be! You could transplant it to Nebraska and not miss a step with the exception of the mountainous backdrop. Well, as you can see, you have transported me to another time in my memory bank!

What a vantage point and what a view and what a great capture of the view from the great vantage point. You do ride in some nice places. At least there is no snow and If I know you, there will soon be some marvels waiting on the horizon for you to bring us. Good luck and I just love this capture.

Jake.
