Another Colorado Hodgepodge (Summer & Fall 2012)

Written by ceddammit

Howdy! Welcome to another ThrowBack Thursday, here on Voyages With Parkinson’s (a.k.a. TremorTravel.com). If you are reading this somewhere other than TremorTravel.com, then what you’re reading has been plagiarized by an AI (Artificial Intelligence). Or maybe by a DA (DumbAss).

This week, we take a look at some of the last photos I shot in Colorado prior to moving to Carolina. There’s no real unifying theme here; just a hodgepodge of stuff I snapped while driving around. Let’s start with a few from just outside Georgetown, taken on June 26, 2012:

On July 8, 2012, I went fer a drive through the city of Golden and on up to Coal Creek Canyon. What did I see? This stuff:

Jefferson County Courthouse in Golden, Colorado
The city of Golden with unusually low-hanging clouds
A pair of black-billed magpies (Pica pica)
Low-hanging clouds moving between the Table Mountains
No, that’s not smoke! It’s clouds hanging low on the mountains.

Continuing up the canyon would be fruitless from a photographic standpoint, as we would be driving up into the low-hanging clouds. While I enjoyed taking pictures *of* the clouds, taking pictures *within* the clouds would be a different story. So, let’s head back down to the Denver metro area, shall we? Yes. Yes we shall…

It appears I’ve been incorporated.

Strange things are afoot at Belmar Tower.
This is the Tower of Memories, at the back of a large cemetery on the west side of the Denver, Colorado metro area.

This is just a couple blocks from my last Colorado apartment. I was never sure whether this was an office building or a penitentiary.
According to the sign, these guys are “fine builders”. So if you want an office addition that looks like a decrepit old barn…they’ll do a fine job of it.

Last but far from least, we make the trek down to Cañon City for the old favorite, the nearly obscene:

So ends another Throw-up, I mean, ThrowBack Thursday. Next week: more fun for Art Deco fans!
