the flow of traffic slowing and the temperatures beginning to drop

In March of 2013 after a Saturday snowstorm I headed to Sloans Lake in Denver to photograph at sunrise

Since it was a weekday the schedule had more trains along the RTD W line and this one came at just the right time to add to the image for today

Some of the more noticeable reminders of the past are the large hangars which remain

I did photograph that tree but decided to explore the park for a little while as the wet snow continued to fall

Observatory Park in the Winter Size:16"x20" the flow of traffic slowingThe Chamberlin Observatory is located at Observatory Park near the University of Denver. The observatory originally opened in 1890 and features a 20 inch refracting telescope. As a late January snow fell on the city I was out exploring new locations to photograph in the snow and found myself at the park. The flakes filled the sky and made the park into a snow globe feel on a day when the observatory itself would also just need to enjoy the scene.
