Denver: A few days on the streets of the city!

Denver downtown from the red rocks

As per Walter this is one of the most dangerous streets in the city

Coming from San Francisco, Denver seems to be a much quieter place. It was Wednesday evening and we were strolling in the downtown Denver. For once, I was more interested in the structures around, more than the people on the road...

We had just walked through the art district in the city (near the Denver Art Museum which has been designed by Daniel Libeskind, which I guessed correctly looking at the building) and I was already happy looking at all the beautifully designed and unusual structures. The Capitol is also nice, but its like any other...

As Walter and Linda strolled in the area, I was running all around, and usually looking up into the sky, and the beautiful concrete and glass structures.

p.s. I also ended up buying an Indian cap with real raccoon tail, so much for being a pure vegetarian :)

 If you are in Denver, it's also worthwhile exploring the surrounding areas too. Here's an excellent guide: Day trips from Denver.

    Great shots ... like the variations and contrasts. I'm also fascinated by concrete and glass structures. Well done!

      Hey Nirja, my SoCal plans got busted when some of the friends backed out. Of course I still had to take a vacation, and so went on this trip instead :)

    You make me miss downtown Brisbane.
    The 'more buildings :)' is absolutely brilliant composition
    and yes! I did notice the moon :) though those windows were distracting me.. that pattern is absolutely musical.
    The raccoon tail hat surely deserved a shot too :)
    Aah! that shot of Denver from the Red Rocks seems as if the city has been constructed for a film set or something..

    Beautiful pictures once again. Reminded me of my visit to Denver.
    I wish you had also uploaded a picture of the Indian cap you bought. By the way, I noticed the moon. :-)

      Thanks Komal, did you like Denver as well? I thought there was something quite special about the place...

      As for the cap, trust me I just look ridiculous in it :)

    It seems like a very tall city. The "red rocks"... sounds like something I'd like to experience. There's a place called the Red Rocks in England where I've been. I actually forgot till just this moment that we had nicknamed my house the Red Rocks because of that trip to England. Ha! Funny what jogs a memory.
