February 24 Happy Birthday GraceColorado Springs and an attempt to photograph the lunar eclipseI flew to Colorado Springs a couple weeks ago for work and found a couple hours to see some of the local sites. Special thanks to my host Tim Yost.
From near my hotel, you feel like you're right at the base of the rockies, probably because you are. I was told later that the center mountain is Pikes Peak.
This is the LexisNexis building, a bit nicer than ours.
The first thing I thought of when I thought Colorado Springs was the Olympic traing center.
Countdown to the next two Olympics. Oh, I can't wait for Whistler.
A little bar that Jennifer Jones told me about, we were short on time so we didn't get to go in. They sell beer by the yard, I really should have made time :)
This is the Brodmore (not sure if I'm supposed to spell it with an 'A' or not - there's a good story behind that) it is a 5 star hotel, don't see too many of those now, do we.
Kissing Camels at the Garden of the Gods.
My favorite view of the Garden of the Gods, I don't think I did it justice.
Yes, I had to take a picture of something that said, "Garden of the Gods." By the way, the garden of the gods was the highlight of my sight seeing, the rock formation were awesome.
OK, so, this looks pretty boring, eh? Well, you probably won't beleive that the reason that mountain top is flat is because they cut it off when they were mining, it wasn't always flat.
Yes, that rock is really balancing, in fact, it's called blanced rock.
Here's the lunar elipse we had the other day, I need to read up on hot photograph this for 2010. The moon actually had a red tint, I couldn't capture that for some reason, oh well, I'll get it next time. |
