An evening in downtown Aspen

We make a trip up to Aspen Col­orado about once a year in the sum­mer or fall. Aspen is an amaz­ing place to pho­to­graph, with beau­ti­ful scenery like the Maroon Bells,  inde­pen­dence pass,  Mabel Col­orado,  the fry­ing pan river for the fish­er­men,  Glen­wood hot Spring,  Col­orado river and hang­ing lake just a day trip away.  This gallery was Pho­tographed on  a walk around the beau­ti­ful town of Aspen Col­orado in the evening last august.  The pho­tos  were shot with up to 9 long expo­sures all at the same aper­ture and all at dif­fer­ent shut­ter speeds. Then com­bined in Pho­tomatix Pro HDR soft­ware. This allows you to see the detail in the shad­ows and highlights.

Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show 2010

The Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show was on Sat­ur­day Sep­tem­ber 11, 12 2010. It is annu­ally brought to Wood­land Park, Col­orado by the Teller County Clas­sic, Cus­tom and Spe­cial Inter­est Car Club.  The show fea­tured over 200 Clas­sic Cars, Hot Rods and Mus­cle Cars.  This was the sec­ond year we pho­tographed this car show with tem­per­a­tures in the 70’s and a beau­ti­ful sunny day made for an incred­i­ble event.  In the after­noon the car own­ers went on the Poker Run to Crip­ple Creek, Col­orado.  The car show con­tin­ued on Sun­day in Crip­ple Creek.  Each photo in this gallery starts off as 5 sep­a­rate pho­tographs at 5 dif­fer­ent expo­sures and com­bined with a process called HDR or High Dynamic-Range pho­tog­ra­phy.  This allows one to see the detail in the shad­ows and high­lights.  It also has the abil­ity to cre­ate some pretty cool spe­cial effects.

The Hoodoos of Colorado Springs

Hoodoos are a strange geo­log­i­cal rock for­ma­tion found mainly in Bryce Canyon National Park, Col­orado and the Bad­lands of South Dakota. Their for­ma­tion con­sist of  dif­fer­ent lay­ers of hard and soft sed­i­men­tary rock. Gen­er­ally the hard lay­ers being on top, ero­sion of the softer lay­ers of rock gives them their strange unusual chim­ney or mush­room  shapes. The size of the Hoodoos in the gallery range from a cou­ple feet  to about 50 feet and are located in Wood­man Val­ley Park in Col­orado Springs.  One of for­ma­tions in the area is called the Dutch Wed­ding Rock, which is not access­able due to being on pri­vate land. Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park can be more than 100 feet tall.

Maroon Bells Aspen Colorado

The Maroon Bells, just out­side of Aspen Col­orado, are one of the most pho­tographed group of moun­tains  in Col­orado.  To get there from Aspen head west on Maroon Creek Road just south of town.  The short drive up Maroon Creek Drive is worth the trip alone for its beauty,  espe­cially in the fall.  At the end of the road park your vehi­cle and take a short walk to Maroon Lake. The views of the lake and the moun­tains are spec­tac­u­lar.  A sight not to be missed. There’s plenty of hik­ing and fish­ing in the area along with wildlife view­ing. In past trips we have seen deer, elk, beaver, blue heron, coy­ote, fox and all kinds of birds. Though we have not seen a bear our­selves, you may have the oppor­tu­nity to see one.  In the spring and sum­mer the wild­flow­ers are not to be missed as they cover the sides of the trails and fields.

Look for our free full color 2010 cal­en­dar down­load avail­able this fall.

United States Air Force Academy Chapel

The pho­tos in this gallery were shot at the United States Air Force Acad­emy Chapel in Col­orado Springs. The chapel was designed by archi­tect Wal­ter Netsch. The chapel is a non-denominational Protes­tant house of wor­ship. What peo­ple may not real­ize is that along with the main Protes­tant chapel that in the lower level there’s a Catholic chapel, a Jew­ish chapel, a Bud­dhist chapel and an all faiths meet­ing room for small groups. As you enter the main chapel upstairs,  you get the feel­ing of being in a space­ship. The ceil­ings are about 100 feet tall with beau­ti­ful stained glass win­dows and a huge pipe organ. Look­ing from the inside out is incred­i­ble.  A few of years ago I had the oppor­tu­nity to attend a beau­ti­ful  mil­i­tary wed­ding of one of my son’s best friends in this chapel — an event not to be missed.  So if you are ever in Col­orado Springs, visit the United States Air Force Acad­emy Chapel. The visitor’s cen­ter and chapel are open daily and on week­ends all year except when closed on major hol­i­days. You will not be disappointed.

On Fri­day, August 28, 2009 the United States Air Force Acad­emy Chapel cel­e­brated its 50 year anniver­sary of the start of its con­struc­tion. The chapel was com­pleted in 1963.
